Reed Smith is a Global Top 20 law firm that has worked in close partnership with its clients throughout a successful 125+ year history to grow from being a leading national law firm to a transatlantic law firm committed to providing the highest level of service to national and international clients.
Founded in 1877, Reed Smith now has nearly 1000 lawyers in 14 offices in the U.S. and 2 in the U.K., and we are counsel to 29 of the top 30 United States banks; 26 of the Fortune e-50 companies; 9 of the top 10 pharmaceutical companies; and 50 of the world's leading drug and device manufacturers; and many of the nation's largest and most prestigious health care providers.
Reed Smith's health care practice includes more than 40 full-time, dedicated health care lawyers, and more than 70 additional attorneys who count health care as part of their practice. Our intensive focus on the legal aspects of health care spans three decades, and has included representation of virtually every player in the health care delivery system. Within our health care practice, we have a number of attorneys who are dedicated to counseling our clients on health information issues.
The health care industry faces unique challenges: a plethora of government regulations at the federal, state and local levels including Medicare/Medicaid requirements, fraud and abuse, anti-kickback, false claims and safe harbors compliance issues, EMTALA patient transfer matters, HIPAA confidentiality protections, and FDA medical technology questions; medical staff and labor shortages and disputes; and ever-increasing costs coupled with budgetary constraints.
As a result, we have adopted a multi-disciplinary approach to resolving legal issues affecting hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, rehab hospitals, hospices, home medical equipment suppliers, free-standing specialty providers (especially pharmacies), and radiology and surgical clinics. In addition, our Health Care Group represents manufacturers of medical devices, diagnostics, drugs, and biotechnology, as well as pharmacy benefit management programs and managed care organizations. We provide comprehensive health care analysis and advocacy on federal and state laws, serving clients on corporate, contractual and compliance matters.
