Healthcare law is an incredibly diverse area of practice which does not focus on a singular type of legal work. Attorneys in this field focus on the health industry in general, but the types of work available vary widely. Some lawyers counsel health care entities on a range of transactional and regulatory matters, including mergers and acquisitions and joint ventures. Others handle any litigation-related matters that arise for their health care industry clients. Some lawyers focus on compliance issues, ensuring clients are adhering to regulations and laws and conducting internal investigations for clients, while others work on the government side, enforcing regulations. This area is an exciting one because it is constantly evolving and changing, especially when it comes to digital health. Lawyers focusing on digital health may work on IP-related matters, privacy and data security, regulatory issues, policy research, and more. On the nonprofit side, lawyers may work for an organization that promotes public health, access to health care, advocacy for a specific health issue, etc. Clients in the health law arena range from hospitals and medical centers to insurance companies and pharmaceutical entities to laboratories and private equity funds—plus many more.

Describe your practice area and what it entails.
Marshall: As a transactional and regulatory attorney, I help investors and companies in the health and life sciences industry navigate the intersection of law, business, and technology/innovation. My practice combines strategic regulatory counseling with transactional execution, enabling my clients to innovate, expand, and operate efficiently in a rapidly evolving industry. I leverage my early career experience as a regulatory attorney in my transactional practice to provide not only legal counsel but also practical business insights.
Marissa: I advise on day-to-day compliance issues and support complex transactions involving FDA-regulated businesses. On the regulatory side, I help clients interpret FDA requirements for product development, labeling, advertising, and reporting obligations, and I often tackle nuanced questions that don’t have a clear-cut answer. On the transactional side, I manage the FDA diligence process for private equity and strategic acquisitions, which means reviewing regulatory materials, joining diligence calls, and preparing summaries for clients.
What types of clients do you represent?
Marshall: My clients include investors (private equity, growth equity, and venture capital); providers; and digital health, healthtech, life sciences, and retail companies. This mix allows me to understand many perspectives, which in turn helps me provide better counsel.
Marissa: My clients range from global pharmaceutical companies to consumer brands and medical device manufacturers, as well as private equity sponsors and strategic buyers acquiring FDA-regulated businesses. I advise clients’ port-folio companies on more-specialized topics, such as clinical research-related compliance and FDA reporting obligations.
What types of cases/deals do you work on?
Marshall: I work on a wide range of matters including structuring and negotiating commercial agreements and partnerships between digital health and tech companies, providers, payers, and life sciences organizations. I handle transactions involving acquisitions, investments, and strategic affiliations where regulatory diligence and compliance considerations materially affect a deal. On the regulatory side, I advise clients on federal and state regulatory issues, including emerging issues involving AI, remote monitoring, virtual care, and other innovation tools and care models. These matters often overlap, so my work blends transactional execution with practical regulatory counseling.
Marissa: On the regulatory side, I help clients understand FDA requirements for labeling, advertising, reporting obligations, etc., and I often dig into complex interpretation questions. I assist with compliance issues related to clinical trials and product development.
On the transactional side, I handle FDA diligence for private equity and strategic acquisitions, which involves reviewing regulatory materials, participating in diligence calls, and preparing summaries for clients. The deals can range from consumer brands to contract manufacturers and digital health platforms. Sometimes unexpected issues arise, such as an advertising challenge right before closing, making flexibility and clear communication essential. The variety means I’m constantly learning and finding practical ways to help clients meet their business goals and stay compliant.
How did you choose this practice area?
Marshall: I always knew that my professional career would be in health. I was an intern in a pediatric hospital and then a medical service corps officer in the U.S. Army. Now, I am practicing health and life sciences law. My career evolution is a result of leaning into the types of clients and health, digital health, and technology areas that interest me.
Marissa: My interest in health law began at the HHS Office of the Inspector General, where I worked on whistleblower investigations and fraud and abuse matters, building a strong foundation in healthcare regulations and compliance. My practice evolved from general health law to specialized FDA regulatory law, which combines legal strategy with science and innovation. At McDermott, I’ve continued advising on broader healthcare matters while deepening my expertise in FDA issues. I enjoy helping clients navigate complex regulations in a way that supports compliance and enables growth.
What is a “typical” day like and/or what are some common tasks you perform?
Marshall: I love that every day is different. In the morning, I may be advising a startup healthtech company on a complex regulatory question that can mean boom or bust for the company. At lunch, I may be negotiating transaction agreements and supporting diligence on a client’s acquisition. Before day’s end, I may be helping a private equity-backed physician practice affiliate with a new hospital partner. In between, I am meeting with clients, training and supporting other attorneys, and keeping up on industry, policy, and regulatory developments.
Marissa: No two days look the same, but most involve balancing client work with team coordination. Sometimes regulatory emergencies (e.g., a medical device recall) pop up, and the game plan goes out the window. Being flexible helps you roll with surprises and keep things moving without increased stress. I think it’s important to take care of yourself first, so I make time to move my body every day.
On the regulatory side, I may be advising on FDA compliance issues. On the transactions side, I may be managing the regulatory aspects of private equity-related transactions, meaning reviewing FDA-related diligence materials, participating in diligence calls with the target company, and drafting the FDA portion of a diligence memo to summarize findings about the client’s target. Keeping deals on track is a big part of my role.
What training, classes, experience, or skills development would you recommend to someone who wishes to enter your practice area?
Marshall: I recommend building a strong foundation in health regulatory frameworks, corporate and contract drafting, and the basics of reimbursement and compliance. Hands-on experience through internships with health companies, law firms, government agencies, or compliance departments helps develop practical judgment and understanding of how policies and regulations operate in business contexts. Strong analytical skills, comfort with technical subjects, and the ability to translate complex rules into actionable guidance are essential. Stay curious and adaptable, as this industry evolves faster than most others. Always keep learning!
Marissa: Healthcare law covers the FDA, digital health, fraud, abuse, and more, so start with the basics, such as Administrative and Health Law, and then dive into specialized courses that excite you. Writing skills are important in any law practice, and law review or journal work can help sharpen them. Real-world experience also matters. Internships and externships, whether in health or other law practice, will teach you how to take ownership of projects, communicate clearly, and manage up, which are critical skills. Being able to learn on the fly and explain complex rules in plain language will make you stand out. If possible, get exposure to regulatory agencies or healthcare organizations.
What do you like best about your practice area?
Marshall: I most like the opportunity to sit at the intersection of law, business, and innovation in a dynamic industry. I enjoy helping clients solve complex problems where the regulatory path isn’t always clear, translating dense or ambiguous rules into practical strategies that help move new technologies, therapies, and business models forward. My work is intellectually engaging because every deal and regulatory question differ; each is driven by a dynamic regulatory and policy landscape. I value being a strategic partner who helps clients navigate this complexity and manage risk.
Marissa: I most enjoy the variety. Whether I’m advising on a medical device or therapy, every matter requires learning something new about the science, regulatory landscape, or business strategy behind it. This keeps me engaged and challenged, and I appreciate being part of a process that helps bring safe and effective products to patients.
What misconceptions exist about your practice area?
Marshall: Two large misconceptions are that my clients’ transactions involve simple negotiations, like straightforward contract and negotiation work, and that the matter is over after the deal is done. Health industry transactions involve complex regulatory overlays, so I must navigate state and federal fraud laws and other requirements: data privacy laws, corporate practice laws, reimbursement requirements, etc. Once the deal is done, I continue providing practical legal and business counsel about ongoing client operations.
Marissa: A misconception about FDA law practice is that a science background or degree is needed. The subject matter is technical, but legal analysis, problem-solving, and under-standing business objectives are the core skills. You learn the science as you go while applying complex regulations. Curiosity and adaptability, therefore, are far important than having a Ph.D.
How do you see this practice area evolving in the future?
Marshall: Technology in health, life sciences, digital health, and healthtech continues to evolve rapidly. It is transforming healthcare from a provider-centered, episodic system into a continuous, data-driven, patient-centered ecosystem, adding complexity to industry regulations and shifting business risks and opportunities. My practice will increasingly focus on helping clients navigate the regulatory, transactional, and ethical implications of AI, digital health, healthtech, and data-driven care models.
Marissa: Smart medical devices and AI-powered digital health tools, among others, are challenging traditional regulatory frameworks in the FDA space. I expect more nuanced guidance and faster policy shifts, which will mean that lawyers will need to anticipate change and help clients navigate uncertainty in real time.
How has the digital health market affected your practice?
Marshall: Digital health is a core part of my practice. I advise on dynamic, life cycle-based regulatory frameworks and help clients navigate complex regulatory questions involving innovative tools and care delivery models. Digital health has increased the transactional complexity of deals, requiring sophisticated analysis of data rights, reimbursement strategy, state licensure, privacy frameworks, and fraud and abuse risk. As tech companies enter health and life sciences, I increasingly help clients structure innovative partnerships, anticipate regulatory scrutiny, and build compliance infra-structures that support scalable growth.
Marissa: Digital health continues to add complexity to FDA work. Software functionality and cybersecurity intersect with traditional regulatory issues. For deals, this means deeper product classification diligence and evolving FDA guidance on software and AI, making the practice more dynamic and interdisciplinary.

Describe your practice area and what it entails.
The Health Care & Life Sciences practice at Jones Day is a multidisciplinary team of lawyers who represent clients across the entire healthcare and life sciences spectrum, from hospital systems and academic medical centers to provider organizations, healthcare investors, and emerging companies, along with leading and startup pharma, biotech, medical device, digital health, and food and cosmetics companies in matters ranging from litigation, transactional, compliance, and regulatory. Our firm’s approach to the health sector—with an integrated global health industry team of more than 300 lawyers—affords us the opportunity to work with colleagues in other practices to best serve the firm’s health industry clients.
What types of clients do you represent?
We represent clients across the industry—from traditional healthcare provider organizations (hospitals, academic medical centers, post-acute care facilities, skilled nursing and rehabilitation centers, senior care facilities, physician groups, urgent care and ambulatory surgery centers, and telehealth/telemedicine organizations), to emerging technology and digital health enterprises, healthcare investors (PE/VC funds), manufacturers and developers of healthcare products (pharmaceuticals, biologics, medical devices, food/dietary supplements, cosmetics, tobacco products), and outsourced vendors (contract research organizations, contract manufacturers).
What types of cases/deals do you work on?
Heather: My practice focuses on government enforcement—investigations and litigation involving the False Claims Act at the federal and state levels. Given the matters I work on, my practice also involves regulatory and compliance counseling. I am able to see both sides of the coin, so to speak—areas that the government is focused on, but also best practices and business solutions for addressing issues in a compliant manner.
How did you choose this practice area?
Laura: One of the things that drew me to Jones Day in the first place is the firm’s New Lawyers Group—a program that offers first-year lawyers exposure to a variety of practices and lawyers across the firm before officially joining a particular practice group. I knew that I was interested in joining a practice that allowed me to work with complex statutes and regulations, interact with regulators, and work on both litigation and transactional matters, and I tried projects in several different regulatory focused practices during my first year. My very first assignment, though, was a healthcare matter that involved interpreting state regulations in the context of remote optical health services, and I was immediately hooked. I worked directly with a partner who is an expert in the telehealth space and got to research recently enacted state regulations, interact with state regulators regarding the interpretation of the regulations, and participate in the client call to deliver our guidance. I loved it!
What is a typical day like and/or what are some common tasks you perform?
Laura: One thing that I enjoy about this practice is that every day looks a little bit different. Nearly every day involves some sort of legal research, typically looking at federal or state statutes and regulations and related agency guidance to advise clients on questions that often do not have a clear-cut answer. I also do a good amount of drafting, whether it’s a formal memo containing a regulatory analysis, helping clients draft documents to set up appropriate corporate and regulatory-oriented structures for their healthcare arrangements, or drafting and advising on commercial agreements. No matter what I am working on, it usually involves close collaboration and communication with clients and with others at the firm. I am frequently collaborating with Health Care and Life Sciences lawyers in other offices (we have a presence in nearly every U.S. office, as well as globally) and with lawyers in other practice groups. Jones Day’s commitment to client service means that we bring in the right lawyers with the right experience to deliver the best work product for our clients, regardless of practice designation or office location. This is great for associates, who get the chance to work with a lot of different people and see how a big project comes together.
What training, classes, experience, or skills development would you recommend to someone who wishes to enter your practice area?
Heather: While a background in healthcare is always helpful, it is certainly not required. Given the multidisciplinary nature of our practice, we look for associates with a wide set of skills and experience. As far as classes, we would definitely recommend taking Administrative Law, where possible, because understanding how federal agencies like the Department of Health & Human Services operate is a critical component of our practice. Drafting, negotiations and mediation, and trial advocacy skills are all areas that would be beneficial.
What is the most challenging aspect of practicing in this area?
Heather: I think one of the most challenging aspects of this practice is also one of the best—this is a fast-paced industry driven by science, innovation, and an incredibly complex legal framework that is itself evolving at a rapid pace. The firm’s approach to client service allows us to access knowledge and expertise that keeps pace with the industry.
What do you like best about your practice area?
Laura: I like that the practice is constantly evolving. I learn something new with every project—there is always a new regulation or guidance document to catch up on! This also creates an opportunity for junior associates to become subject matter experts on new policy developments. In my case, I was able to work on telehealth projects at the very beginning of my career, pre-COVID, and developed a deep understanding of the digital health regulatory landscape that was very helpful when the adoption of remote services exploded during COVID. I also really enjoy working with our clients, most of whom are focused on better serving patients and improving health outcomes. To be able to help them with this work, in some small way, is very meaningful. And being at Jones Day, of course, means we get to work with clients who are the best at what they do. The projects we work on are often complex and cutting-edge and require a team-oriented approach; nowhere does a team come together better to face challenges than at Jones Day.
What are some typical tasks that a junior lawyer would perform in this practice area?
Laura: Junior lawyers are involved in all aspects of the projects we work on, working alongside and with the guidance of partner and senior associate mentors. Typical tasks include conducting legal and regulatory research, communicating with clients and regulators, drafting pleadings and motions, drafting regulatory submissions, drafting and revising transactional documents, reviewing documents (due diligence or discovery), and participating in witness interviews. My personal favorite task is conducting deep regulatory research and trying to distill that into practical guidance for our clients.
How do you see this practice area evolving in the future?
Heather: The clear trend in the health sector is toward collaboration of participants across the industry. And while the pandemic accelerated this trend, it was in fact emerging before the health crisis. There are a number of factors causing this, including: globalization of healthcare, innovation and new technologies, new entrants and new roles for health industry participants, consumer-driven healthcare, and pressures on pricing and demand for transparency. As the industry evolves, so too must our legal practice and the way we approach the clients we serve. This is where Jones Day excels thanks to an international footprint, cross-practice collaboration, and client-oriented culture. This allows us to deliver not only on a specific matter, but also to appreciate other factors that may impact the client.

Describe your practice area and what it entails.
Jayda: My practice focuses on advising digital health platforms and clients creating innovative care delivery models as they engage in state expansion efforts and compliance with the myriad of laws, regulations, and guidance that impact their platforms and patient care offerings.
Travis: I am a corporate transactions lawyer within the healthcare industry. My practice goes beyond working with clients to buy or sell companies. Our clients demand lawyers who are creative thinkers and who can help them navigate the ever-changing regulatory landscape of the healthcare industry. I often work with leading nonprofit health systems and investor-backed organizations early in the development of their business strategies and then on the implementation of those strategies through mergers, acquisitions, and joint ventures. I have worked with academic medical centers to understand how they may partner with community hospitals to make oncology and other specialized services available to patients in remote areas. I have also advised community hospitals in affiliating with medical schools to become teaching institutions that train the next generation of providers.
What types of clients do you represent?
Jayda: I represent a range of clients including healthcare startups that are new to the digital health and innovative care space and established Fortune 100 companies that are exploring health offerings. Most of the clients I work with are based within the United States and working within U.S. healthcare laws.
Travis: My clients represent the full spectrum of nonprofit and investor-backed healthcare organizations. I work with community hospitals, health systems, academic medical centers, clinical research organizations, physician practices, and other providers. Each type of client brings a different perspective and culture to the work, which makes every deal unique.
What types of cases/deals do you work on?
Jayda: I assist digital health platforms and professionals in meeting state and federal legal requirements as they intersect with their business models. This can range from navigating corporate practice laws and creating state expansion work plans to addressing various state laws surrounding the practice of telemedicine. Additionally, much of my work involves assisting clients in understanding and implementing protocols related to professional requirements such as physician collaboration and supervision requirements, state licensure requirements, prescribing requirements, and state board professional standards. I also support health transactions that involve digital health platforms.
Travis: I work on strategic corporate transactions. I represent health systems in buying or selling hospitals, physician practices, or other providers. I also counsel nonprofit healthcare organizations on corporate governance issues and the federal income tax implications of their activities. One recent transaction utilized both skill sets. Our client was a community-based nonprofit organization that owned a 50% interest in a hospital. The client desired to sell its interest in the hospital and use the sale proceeds to establish a community health foundation. This project was a great representation of the substantive legal work we do and demonstrated the value of our work to the community. The client recently announced that it would make more than $100 million from this transaction available to the community through grants to address rural health needs.
How did you choose this practice area?
Jayda: Prior to law school, I worked in an administrative role for a pediatric company, which allowed me to become familiar with HIPAA and the healthcare space early in my career. In law school, I interned at a telehealth startup based in Seattle and eventually began my legal career there as associate general counsel. When I joined McDermott, I knew I wanted to continue in this practice area and build my experience and knowledge in counseling healthcare clients.
Travis: I chose healthcare law because I really wanted my practice to help people. I grew up knowing how vital it is for a community to have access to affordable healthcare services. My hometown is Shattuck, a small town in northwest Oklahoma with a population of about 1,200. Unlike many rural communities today, Shattuck still has a small hospital—Newman Memorial Hospital—that serves the community’s health needs. Growing up in Shattuck gave me an ingrained understanding of how important hospitals like Newman Memorial are to the health and economic vitality of communities. I like to think my practice helps me ensure that these organizations remain viable in an increasingly difficult regulatory and financial environment.
What is a “typical” day like and/or what are some common tasks you perform?
Jayda: My typical day usually involves a mix of internal and client meetings and drafting various client deliverables. On any given day, I may be conducting research or reviewing a research project and emailing clients about ongoing matters or questions they have on existing work. Supervising junior associates and paralegals in ongoing work efforts is also a common part of my typical day.
Travis: My to-do list typically involves drafting or reviewing asset purchase agreements, membership substitution agreements, professional services agreements, or other key transactional documents. I also regularly meet with clients to discuss deal points or terms that need to be negotiated with the other parties to these agreements and strategize what business goals we want to achieve in the agreement and how best to achieve them. This requires critical thinking about the position that we are taking in these negotiations and about how the other parties may respond. Finally, I try to spend time each day reading about new healthcare regulatory developments or transactions in the industry. This practice helps me anticipate our clients’ needs.
What training, classes, experience, or skills development would you recommend to someone who wishes to enter your practice area?
Jayda: I would recommend that someone interested in this practice area, particularly in digital health and innovative care delivery model counseling, familiarize themselves with technology companies and the operational aspects of those businesses (e.g., understanding mobile health platforms and website-based platforms). General industry knowledge of companies in this space is really helpful to serve as a comparison point and also to understand the look and feel of these platforms, from a patient, provider, and developer standpoint.
Travis: I would encourage anyone who is interested in a corporate practice to take an Accounting for Lawyers class, particularly if you do not have an undergraduate background in business or finance. Key decision-makers at our clients speak in financial terms. Having early familiarity with key financial concepts will give you an advantage over those who must learn these terms on the job. I would also encourage students interested in heavily regulated practices such as healthcare to take administrative law courses. Understanding the regulations that shape the industry and the processes government agencies go through to issue those regulations can set you apart in developing a practice. In addition to these substantive areas, courses in negotiating or participating in mock negotiations can provide practical experience in successfully navigating a corporate transaction from letter of intent to definitive agreement and help you see how much of the art in becoming a successful lawyer occurs beyond the classroom. Being a skilled negotiator depends on how well you think on your feet and what people skills you develop.
What is the most challenging aspect of practicing in this area?
Jayda: The most challenging aspect of practicing in this area is that the laws are always evolving, so there is always something happening or something new to dig into. Additionally, even with the evolution of digital health and innovative care models, many laws and regulations have not caught up with the technologies that many of our clients’ platforms use today. This results in a substantial ambiguity, which we help our clients navigate as they further assess their operations.
What do you like best about your practice area?
Travis: The best part about being a transactional healthcare lawyer is seeing the impact of my work in communities. My career has afforded me the opportunity to see how the profession can positively impact people. I’ve worked with clients to save local hospitals from closure, to bring needed healthcare services to a community, and to develop programs that train future healthcare providers. Our work allows us to feel good about what we do and why we do it.
What are some typical tasks that a junior lawyer would perform in this practice area?
Jayda: Junior lawyers perform a number of tasks to support this practice area. They are instrumental in assisting with research projects, conducting due diligence related to transactions, tracking and analyzing new legislation or proposed rulemaking, writing on any of these topics, and performing outreach to state regulators on nuances in laws and regulations.
How do you see this practice area evolving in the future?
Travis: Healthcare is only going to become more competitive, diversified, and complex as new market entrants (such as big-box retailers and technology companies) invest in the delivery of healthcare services. These competitive pressures—occurring against a backdrop of increased regulatory and reimbursement scrutiny—are going to result in greater transaction volume and more complex corporate transactions.
Jayda Greco works at the intersection of healthcare regulatory, privacy, compliance, product counseling, and marketing law, with particular emphasis on devising creative and practical legal solutions for digital health initiatives to meet business objectives.
