(Leading partners)The diverse offering at Ropes & Gray LLP is well known for its extensive capabilities in healthcare data privacy, and administrative litigation relating to reimbursement and billing. In the Chicago office, practice co-head Deborah Gersh is known for her specialism in value-based care initiatives and data privacy under HIPAA, while Jennifer Romig primarily handles transactional and regulatory matters for healthcare and digital health clients. Boston’s Timothy McCrystal co-leads the team, with his recent areas of focus including the regulatory aspects of telehealth and access to care, and David Peloquin is noted for his knowledge of fraud and abuse laws on both a state and federal level. Working out of the Washington DC office, Stephanie Webster regularly acts for hospitals and academic medical centers in transactions. Stephen Warnke advises a range of government-funded managed care organisations and non-profit health systems in New York, while Sarah Blumenthal focuses on university-hospital relationships and third-party payment issues. In Los Angeles, Torrey McClary is particularly adept at handling joint ventures and acquisitions within the healthcare sector, and Ranee Adipat was promoted to partner in November 2023, having notable experience in corporate healthcare mandates. Thomas Bulleit retired in late 2022.
