/My focus

My practice centers on advising and representing clients in complex civil matters involving healthcare law, data privacy, and cybersecurity. I have experience handling cybersecurity-related consumer class actions and whistleblower litigation matters arising under the False Claims Act and the California False Claims Act. I regularly counsel clients on compliance with state and federal healthcare regulations and assist in navigating the evolving legal landscapes in these areas.

I also have experience representing California healthcare and long-term care clients in all aspects of civil, regulatory, and administrative litigation, as well as advising medical staffs in matters pertaining to practitioner credentialing/ privileging and discipline.

/Looking ahead

Health sector participants are subject to ever-expanding regulations governing the revenue cycle for healthcare services, and recent government funding sources (e.g., the CARES Act Provider Relief Fund) have created new avenues for relators to pursue opportunistic claims. In the coming years, we expect an increase in qui tam cases, as well as a real commitment from federal agencies to NSA enforcement.
