Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton LLP

Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton LLP’s health insurance practice runs the gamut, and the team is highly experienced in advising clients on issues such as Medicare Advantage, Medicare Part D, regulatory and compliance concerns, as well as in acting for clients in complex litigation at trial and appellate level. Many major insurance carriers, MCOs, health plans, providers, and other key stakeholders in the health care market count themselves as clients of the firm, benefiting from the group’s extensive resources. The expanding practice is directed by a team of four: Century City-based Eric Klein, who is well-versed in M&A and the design of payor and provider initiatives and compliance programs, San-Francisco-based Eric Newsom, who is similarly instrumental in mergers and acquisitions, affiliations, corporate reorganizations, joint ventures, PE investments and disposition transactions, DC partner Christine Clements, who leverages extensive in-house experience and is noted for her Medicare Advantage chops, and NYC-based Amanda Zablocki, who advises health insurance players on ventures, corporate governance, fraud, waste and abuse, as well as Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement. Also central to the practice are Lynsey Mitchel, an HMO regulatory specialist hailing from Century City, and Los Angeles litigator Moe Keshavarzi. Century City-based Matthew Goldman concentrates on regulatory and transactional work.
