Practice Areas & Industries: Jones Day

Practice/Industry Group Overview

Jones Day's criminal defense lawyers have years of experience representing clients across the entire spectrum of regulated industries, including health care, environmental, defense contracting, energy, and banking. Jones Day's representation of health care clients in criminal cases exemplifies the depth of experience the Firm brings to the highly regulated client.

Pursuing criminal charges against health care companies has been a top priority among federal prosecutors and, more recently, among the states' Attorneys General. The criminalization of health care regulation has been a hallmark of the field for several years. Jones Day's criminal defense lawyers have been in the forefront of representing the industry in its attempt to manage the risks created by that trend and to respond to the threats facing the industry. In so doing, Jones Day attorneys have represented targets of government health care investigations, from physicians to hospitals to the Fortune 100 manufacturers who supply them. During the course of those representations, Jones Day has addressed not only the potential criminal sanctions facing our clients, but also the administrative and civil consequences: potential exclusion from Medicare and Medicaid, liability for civil fraud, and False Claims Act qui tam lawsuits.
