He is also former Chair of the American Bar Association Antitrust Section's Federal Civil Enforcement Committee (2006-2007) and Federal Trade Commission Committee (2004-2006), and a member of the advisory board for the Bureau of National Affairs' Health Insurance Report. Art speaks frequently for the AHLA, the American Bar Association and other professional organizations on antitrust, managed care, fraud and abuse and emerging health law issues.

Art is recognized in both antitrust and healthcare law by The Best Lawyers in America (2008 through 2012 editions). He was named one of the top 25 managed care attorneys in the country by The National Law Journal, is listed as a top lawyer in the healthcare field by Chambers USA, and is highly recommended in Legal Media's Guide to the Leading US Healthcare Lawyers.
