About

Provided by Dentons

Dentons’ Health Care group offers health care organizations a unique and unparalleled blend of experience, expertise, and perspective, along with a commitment to exceeding client expectations. These attributes, developed and applied in concert with lawyers in Dentons’ corporate, litigation, tax, government enforcement and white collar investigations, public policy, and other prominent practice groups, make Dentons the firm of choice among health care organizations both within the US and worldwide.

Dentons has over 50 full-time health care lawyers and professionals. In many cases, these individuals have spent their entire careers in private practice as outside counsel to health care organizations. In other cases, they have worked for providers as in-house counsel, administrators, and clinicians. In addition, our team includes an impressive array of former policy directors and other federal and state officials who have served in senior roles at the highest levels of government, including the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), CMS, and the criminal and civil divisions of the US Department of Justice (DOJ), as well as several former state attorneys general. Our group, partners and professionals are routinely recognized as industry leaders.
