We have extensive experience in handling the unique issues faced by academic medical centers. Our academic medical center clients are located throughout the country and include both private and public institutions.

Among the issues on which we have recently represented academic medical centers are:

• Faculty employment and compensation issues, including compliance with compensation related fraud and abuse laws and other regulatory requirements, and other issues unique to compensation in an academic setting.
• Government regulatory enforcement efforts including litigation related to Medicare teaching physician and supervision requirements, grant compliance, scientific misconduct, human subject protection and reimbursement in clinical trials, and reimbursement for investigational devices. We also counsel on compliance plans and conduct internal investigations on compliance issues.
• Advice concerning the complex requirements of federal, state and private grant and sponsorship contracts and regulatory requirements.
• Obtaining appropriate public and private reimbursement for clinical services, including reimbursement for graduate and indirect medical education expenses.

We also represent clients in litigating matters unique to academic institutions, such as issues of academic standing and medical malpractice claims relating to standards of care in a teaching environment.
