DLA Piper LLP (US)

Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

• ‘DLA Piper is a vigorous defender of class action (and even individual) litigation. DLA brings strong knowledge of the healthcare industry to its defense of health insurers and plan service providers, and it utilizes such knowledge to often spin circles around plaintiffs' counsel – both at the motion to dismiss phase and in discover/summary judgment. DLA has skilled litigators who know how to win cases quickly – or make it painfully expensive and difficult for plaintiffs' counsel to pursue cases if they survive a motion to dismiss.’

• ‘Ardith Bronson is not only a skilled courtroom litigator, but also an expert in the substance of ERISA and insurance law. She is fearless in oral advocacy and dedicated to getting the optimal result for her clients. Ardith is definitely a leader in healthcare litigation.’

• ‘Sean O'Neal is clearly a future leader in the field. Sean brings an easy charm in dealing with opposing counsel but also a fierce analytical mind and knowledge of data and discovery – he recalls everything and can find the document substantiating it within seconds.’

• ‘The team has consistently outperformed others by having a unique combination of availability, the resources we need seamlessly put together, and delivering advice based on real life experience in all sorts of situations. This is truly a market-leading combination.’

• ‘Kristi Kung is the single best HC attorney I’ve worked with. She is patient, she listens, she gives advice quickly and with precision. Her experience is deep in many areas, and she leads us to results for very effective fees.’

• ‘Exceptional client service and expertise. Serve as real strategic and business partners, not just lawyers.’

• ‘Salvatore Favuzza is truly at the top of his field. He brings meticulous attention to detail, extensive deal experience and legal knowledge, and an incredibly valuable strategic perspective. As a partner to our firm, he is incredibly responsive and cares as much about getting to a good outcome as we do.’
