In the highly regulated healthcare sector, our Healthcare Law & Medical Compliance practice provides clients with knowledgeable counsel and vigorous representation. The firm advises hospitals, physician groups, clinics, and other healthcare organizations on a wide range of regulatory compliance matters. We help clients navigate laws and regulations governing virtually every aspect of healthcare operations, including patient privacy (HIPAA and state privacy laws), fraud and abuse prevention (Stark Law and Anti-Kickback Statute compliance), billing and reimbursement rules (Medicare and Medi-Cal requirements), professional licensing and credentialing, and healthcare facility regulations. Our team assists in developing and auditing compliance programs, drafting internal policies and procedures, and conducting training to ensure that healthcare providers meet the strict standards required by federal and state law. We also provide transactional counsel in the healthcare realm – structuring joint ventures, acquisitions, and affiliations in a manner that complies with healthcare regulations while achieving our clients’ business objectives.

Equally important, we stand ready to defend healthcare clients when disputes or investigations occur. Gavrilov & Brooks represents providers in responding to government investigations and enforcement actions, including whistleblower (qui tam) lawsuits under the False Claims Act, billing audits, and licensing board proceedings. Drawing on our litigation prowess, we mount strong defenses to protect our clients’ practices and reputations – whether that involves negotiating with regulators to resolve compliance issues or litigating against allegations of fraud or malpractice. Our attorneys are adept at managing the technical complexity of healthcare litigation, working with medical experts and navigating the intersection of healthcare regulations and legal standards. In addition, we counsel clients on risk management strategies, such as internal investigations and self-disclosures, to mitigate potential liabilities before they escalate. By uniting deep industry knowledge with trial-ready advocacy, the firm serves as a steadfast legal partner to the healthcare and life sciences community, helping clients deliver care with confidence in their compliance and legal strategies.
