Health Care
With one of the largest health law practices in the U.S., Alston & Bird offers creative solutions to your legal and business challenges with a cost-efficient approach. With nearly 100 professionals, including lawyers and policy advisors, our team is one of the largest of its kind in the U.S. Our team is fully focused on health care and life sciences, allowing us to quickly spot impending trends, developing rules and regulations, and new technologies that could affect your strategy.
Our team includes a full range of lawyers—regulatory specialists, policy advisors, transactional counsel, and litigators—who are focused entirely on health care. Our transactional team represents health care industry participants across the country in a wide variety of corporate and financial transactions. Their extensive experience in the unique health care commercial and regulatory environment allows them to add value beyond that of typical corporate counsel. Our health care litigators include seasoned veterans who served in the DOJ. In addition, our team includes one of the largest health policy practices in the country with former Administration and congressional officials and staffers lending an inside perspective on the Hill and Executive Branch as well as FDA regulatory issues, investigations, and policy matters.
Health Care Sectors
We represent clients across many different health care industries and disciplines, from start-ups to Fortune 500 companies. Our clients include:
- Ancillary care providers
- Diagnostics and imaging providers
- Financial institutions and specialty lenders

As federal health care regulation becomes more fragmented, state governments are increasingly asserting their authority—introducing a patchwork of laws that create new compliance challenges for health care organizations. The AlstonHealth State Law Hub is designed for in-house counsel seeking to stay ahead of key legal developments at the state level. Our tracker highlights select legislation and regulatory actions with direct implications for operations, reimbursement, privacy, and enforcement risk. By providing concise, actionable insights, the tracker supports legal teams in proactively managing risk and aligning business strategy with a rapidly evolving regulatory environment.
