Prior to joining Arent Fox, David was an associate in the DC office of a leading national law firm where he specialized in antitrust and health care litigation. While at that firm, he litigated complex cases in state and federal court involving health insurers, innovator pharmaceutical companies, generic pharmaceutical companies, and pharmacy benefit managers.

Upon completion of law school, David worked as an attorney for the Civil Division of the United States Department of Justice (DOJ). While at DOJ, he was a member of the small team of lawyers responsible for administering the federal September 11, 2001, Victim Compensation Fund.

David is a member of the American Health Lawyers Association.
