Health Policy & Legislation

Health care issues dominate the policy agenda in Washington, D.C. Stakeholders in health care—from those at the forefront of delivering care to those bringing forward innovations for patients and consumers—face a dynamic environment defined by rapidly changing health care regulations, fast-moving technological advancements and an evolving policy landscape.

Health care stakeholders must remain sharply attuned to and engaged in how the myriad, ongoing policy & legislative developments may impact the way they do business.

Our health policy & legislation team is nationally recognized for experience in legislative and public policy matters affecting a wide range of health care and related entities. We advise on the full array of policy issues and legislation related to health care & life sciences. We also have an active federal funding practice that has succeeded in securing funding for our clients around numerous initiatives.
