The complex interrelationships involved and the enormous significance of the matters at hand for clients make this area of law an exciting challenge for any attorney.

We focus in particular on health insurance companies, IT service providers in the medical and pharmaceutical sectors, associations of panel physicians, medical software developers, clinical research organizations, medical device manufacturers, and physician networks (MVZ).
