Healthcare, Litigation, White Collar, Compliance and Investigations

A seasoned white collar and commercial litigator, Joy Boyd Longnecker has successfully tried more than 40 cases. She helps individuals and companies, many of which are healthcare providers, navigate white collar criminal and civil matters, including those involving allegations of fraud. As a former prosecutor, she brings a dynamic and pragmatic perspective to each case.

Joy routinely investigates and defends matters arising under the False Claims Act (FCA) and assists clients with responding to government requests and subpoenas, including subject and target letters, grand jury subpoenas and civil investigative demands. Her proactive and thorough internal investigations often allow her to negotiate and secure favorable early resolutions of civil and criminal matters.

Joy leverages her significant trial experience in virtually all aspects of her clients’ cases, including the development and execution of a client’s defense strategy, during internal investigations, and in negotiations with federal and state agencies. In addition to healthcare providers, she also defends businesses of all sizes, from startups to publicly traded and private equity-owned companies, in complex contract and other commercial disputes.

Clients turn to Joy for advice on a wide range of operational, risk management and compliance issues. Religious and other nonprofit organizations also rely on Joy’s discretion and guidance when facing challenging and highly sensitive matters, many of which involve allegations of abuse.
