Healthcare Litigation Attorney

About the role

This opportunity is with an Am Law 100 firm that tends to fly slightly under the radar compared to some of the traditional legal giants, but among attorneys who practice in highly regulated industries, government-facing sectors. The firm has grown into an international platform with offices throughout the United States, Europe, and the Middle East/North Africa region. Its reputation was built on helping clients navigate the intersection of law, business, and government. As a result, many of its strongest practice areas revolve around government contracts, healthcare, regulatory enforcement, investigations, cybersecurity, international trade, litigation, intellectual property, transportation, and sophisticated financial transactions.

One of the firm's defining characteristics is the depth of experience within its ranks. Many attorneys and leaders have served in government agencies, regulatory bodies, military leadership positions, and senior policy roles, allowing the firm to offer clients a practical understanding of how regulatory and governmental decisions are made. Unlike firms that focus primarily on traditional corporate M&A or commodity litigation work, this platform is particularly known for advising clients operating within highly regulated industries, including government contractors, healthcare organizations, transportation and infrastructure clients, financial institutions, and businesses facing complex regulatory frameworks. The firm consistently receives recognition for its attorney development programs, pro bono commitment, diversity initiatives, and collaborative culture.

For attorneys looking to work on complex, high-impact matters at the intersection of business, regulation, and government, it represents one of the stronger platforms currently available in the market.
