Fulbright has more than 50 years of experience, representing health care clients in a wide range of issues, including litigation, tax matters, federal compliance issues, and professional malpractice claims. And we have been deeply involved in the development of both large and small health care providers as well as community health clinics -- ever since Fulbright lawyers helped establish the Texas Medical Center.

Our Health Care Practice Group is widely known for strengths in: 

• Administrative and regulatory compliance
• General tort and commercial litigation
• Government investigations
• Products liability / professional liability / medical malpractice
• Transactional practice

Fulbright's Health Care Group is highly knowledgeable about the health care industry and the issues facing health care professionals. We serve as legal counsel to:

In each client-attorney relationship, our health care lawyers consider themselves a key strategic partner, ensuring our continued success and compliance with the law, particularly as the health care industry changes in response to competitive marketplace forces, new payor arrangements, and governmental regulation. We integrate our strengths in such fields and draw upon the knowledge of lawyers in other practice groups (including our public finance; labor and employment; corporate and securities; tax; real estate litigation; intellectual property; technology; and trusts and estates) and our lawyers with knowledge in administrative law and litigation. As a result, the Health Care Group offers sound and creative solutions for each client, and our breadth of practice and experience distinguishes us from other law firms.

Paving the Way with Our Health Care Practice

To the best of our knowledge, Fulbright was the first large general practice law firm to organize a Health Care Practice Group when, in 1979, we brought together a highly knowledgeable group of attorneys devoted exclusively to the representation of health care clients. The synergy created by the Health Care Group has fueled our growth from the original six dedicated lawyers in our Houston location to a current level of several dozen health care lawyers in our locations in Austin, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Minneapolis,New York, St. Louis, San Antonio and Washington, D.C.
