David Thiess helps health care clients navigate a complex system of legal requirements, with a creative eye toward developing competitive business strategies, defending against wide-ranging government investigations, reviewing key transactions, and developing prudent compliance systems.

At these pivotal junctures, clients rely on David's in-depth experience with the federal fraud and abuse laws – including the Anti-Kickback Statute and Physician Self-Referral (Stark) Law – and other manifold regulatory requirements to help them reach innovative and compliant solutions.
