Hall Render launches pharmacy practice

Hall, Render, Killian, Heath and Lyman, the largest health care focused law firm in the nation, has capped off a year of growth with the formation of a pharmacy practice area.

Although this formal practice area is new, several attorneys in the firm have utilized their pharmacy-related knowledge and experience in serving clients for years. Attorneys who practice in Hall Render’s pharmacy practice area counsel clients, including retail pharmacies, mail-order pharmacies, hospitals and long-term care providers, regarding the full spectrum of pharmacy and drug-related matters. Services address provider and professional issues, including regulatory compliance and enforcement support, development and maintenance of compliance programs, Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement, private payor reimbursement, and fraud and abuse advice and litigation defense.

“Our continually expanding scope of practice areas is key to providing our diverse health care clients with consistently exceptional counsel,” said John Ryan, president and managing partner of Hall Render. “By consolidating our pharmacy services into one unified practice, Hall Render is better equipped to more comprehensively serve our clients’ growing needs in this field of work.”

Hall Render’s client list includes a large number of hospitals, health care systems, pharmacies and other health care-focused companies. The pharmacy practice area, led by Shareholder Susan Bizzell, is the most recent addition to the firm’s growing list of more than 60 health law-concentrated specialties.
