The firm’s four core areas of focus are government investigations, litigation, regulatory compliance, and transactional matters. Its lawyers are experienced in handling government investigations and regulatory matters relating to the health care industry, including matters relating to DEA compliance, fraud, investigations by the FDA, and HIPPA compliance.

Nelson Hardiman attorneys have represented all levels of clients in the health care industry on a range of litigation matters. The firm’s work includes handling issues relating to the False Claims Act, fraud, licensing, and other issues. The firm is on top of the ever-changing regulatory landscape as it relates to the health care industry and aims to provide ongoing counsel to clients in that regard.

The firm has also provided counsel in health-related transactional and compliance matters, including corporate finance, distressed financing, M&A, new ventures, strategic affiliations, and private equity. Its work has included developing a 50-state post-acquisition regulatory filing plan for a client; serving as Chief Restructuring Officer in a hospital’s Chapter 11 proceeding; and advising on Clayton Act and Sherman Act merger cases.
