Big Law in DC Sees Exponential Growth From Health Care Clients

Mike Labson was quoted by The National Law Journal in a piece about the law firms' increasing focus on the health care industry clients because of a spike in workflow stemming from the Inflation Reduction Act, increased federal scrutiny from federal agencies, and M&A and biotech work for biotech and health care companies. 

The National Law Journal also highlighted the opening of Covington’s Boston office and how firms have made geographical expansions to expand their capabilities within life sciences and health care.

The article explains how Covington lawyers have observed more interest from associates in their health care practice as well. “For the same reasons we’re seeing more and more work in this area, it’s attracting associate interest because it’s an exciting and important area,” Mike expressed. “It’s a big part of the economy. It’s a heavy focus of public policy officials and politicians.”
