Rob DeConti has joined King & Spalding as a partner within its government matters and regulation practice group situated in Washington. This move was publicly announced by the firm on Monday. His transition from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Inspector General, where DeConti held the position of chief counsel and deputy inspector general, marks a significant step.
At the HHS, DeConti spearheaded the office that acts as a liaison to the Justice Department concerning all healthcare enforcement actions under the False Claims Act. His responsibilities also included enforcing HHS’s healthcare fraud remedies through program exclusion and the negotiation of Corporate Integrity Agreements. This wealth of experience is expected to bolster King & Spalding’s regulatory and legal expertise, particularly in health-care related government matters.
