June 29, 2012 — Arent Fox LLP is pleased to announce that the firm’s Health Care practice and five health care attorneys are recognized in the 2012 editions of Chambers USA and Legal 500 US for inclusion among the prestigious legal guides’ top rankings.

Chambers reports that the firm’s “team of dedicated health care attorneys is acclaimed for its experience in government investigations and regulatory compliance. Its FDA practice places a strong emphasis on the pharmaceutical industry.”

Legal 500 reports that “Arent Fox LLP ‘performs very well on specific areas of deep expertise like medical staff and health care provider operations’, and is praised for its ‘very in-depth knowledge’ of Medicaid,” as well as Medicare, and fraud and abuse issues. The firm’s main health care practice represents many different types of providers, including “Broward Health on regulatory matters ranging from Stark and anti-kickback compliance to False Claims Act investigations.”

The Arent Fox Health Care Practice provides a national offering with extensive experience in all three offices in health care transactions, litigation, and regulatory compliance. The group provides counsel to every segment of the health care marketplace, including hospitals, health systems and academic medical centers, skilled nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, home health agencies, hospices and palliative care programs, dialysis facilities, ambulatory surgery centers, physician practices, drug manufacturers and wholesalers, medical device manufacturers, suppliers, and distributors.

Several attorneys in the firm’s Health Care team were singled out for individual recognition as well.

In New York, “Michael Blass has ‘a great grasp of transactional structures, as well as the details that support them’” and “is advising Maxim Healthcare Services on regulatory and licensing issues in relation to its nationwide restructuring.” Connie Raffa, notes a source quoted by Legal 500, is “knowledgeable and professional” in regulatory, reimbursement, compliance, and fraud and abuse matters. In Los Angeles, Legal 500 reports attorneys Lowell Brown and Sarah Benator are “remarkable in both their substantive expertise and their responsiveness to client needs.” Tom Jeffry was recognized for his extensive experience in corporate governance, nonprofit tax and antitrust issues related to integrated delivery systems, health information technology, bioethics, privacy and security, and HIPAA Administrative Simplification regulations.
