Our litigators regularly appear before trial and appellate courts, arbitrators, and government agencies, providing associates with meaningful experience at every stage of litigation. Over the past decade, our team has been responsible for more published health care decisions in California than any other law firm.

Our matters include consumer class actions, commercial disputes, litigation involving government agencies, government and internal investigations, constitutional law, civil rights, fraud and abuse claims, qui tam actions, and other complex business and health care disputes.

At Manatt, collaboration is a core value. Our Health Care team is known for its collegial, team-oriented culture, and we are committed to mentoring and investing in the long-term success of our attorneys.

• Health care litigation experience or familiarity with the health care industry
