Hooper Lundy & Bookman PC

We believe that the complexity of health care law requires a depth of understanding that goes beyond that commonly found in general practice firms with health care law departments. Such depth can only be achieved through industry specialization and experience. That is why we have dedicated our practice since its inception in 1987 exclusively to understanding the intricacies of the health care industry. As a result, our attorneys and government relations specialists represent providers and suppliers in all aspects of their business and regulatory transactions, litigation, arbitration and dispute resolution needs, as well as advocacy and public policy. The firm has represented clients in many of the landmark appellate cases that have shaped health care law over the past two decades.
