Career

David Darden is a client-oriented attorney with two primary areas of emphasis: advocating for healthcare providers in the regulatory process and advising both healthcare and other clients during technology contract negotiations. David’s extensive historical litigation experience helps him provide his clients with a uniquely valuable perspective in these processes.

On the healthcare side, David's practice centers on representing hospitals and other providers in Georgia's certificate of need program. He also helps such clients with reimbursement disputes, Medicaid eligibility appeals, state licensure, and various other disputes arising in the context of healthcare.

David's technology contract practice evolved out of years of litigation experience dealing with ill-considered agreements between clients and their technology vendors. He regularly advises clients when negotiating software licenses and SaaS agreements, source code escrow, and other critical technology contracts.
