David Gee

Practice Areas

As former general counsel and executive officer of a publicly traded commercial lab system, with over a decade’s experience working as in-house legal counsel, David Gee brings both legal and business perspectives to our clinical, molecular, and pathology laboratory clients. David leverages that in-house experience to keep his legal guidance focused and practical, despite the uncertainty and complexity of applicable federal and state fraud and abuse laws, Medicare and Medicaid requirements, HIPAA and healthcare privacy laws, and CLIA certification and state licensure rules. David also strives to bring common sense and careful creativity to clients’ strategic transactions and routine business operations. David’s experience managing hundreds of outside lawyers and their legal bills helps to assure that his team delivers efficient legal services to his clients.

David not only serves as principal outside counsel to many clients, but also assists clients with a wide array of legal projects, ranging from nine-figure strategic transactions (mergers and acquisitions and joint ventures) to routine contract drafting and negotiations. His work also includes helping clients develop and maintain effective compliance programs. With the support of DWT’s many specialists, David also helps to defend clients against criminal and civil healthcare fraud and abuse investigations as well as Medicare, Medicaid, and private health-plan audits.
