Crowell & Moring has recently enhanced its health care litigation practice with the addition of Jeff McSorley, a former trial attorney from the U.S. Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Civil Division. McSorley, known for his extensive experience in health care fraud enforcement, joins the firm as a partner. His expertise is expected to bolster Crowell & Moring’s capabilities in handling complex health care litigation and regulatory matters.
During his tenure at the DOJ, McSorley was involved in significant litigation cases concerning health care providers and pharmaceutical companies, focusing on alleged violations of the False Claims Act and related statutes. His contributions included substantial work on cases that targeted fraudulent billing practices and kickback arrangements, enhancing oversight and compliance in the health care sector.
The arrival of McSorley aligns with Crowell & Moring’s strategic goal to expand its health care litigation team amid increasing regulatory scrutiny and enforcement actions within the health care industry. With more than a decade of experience, McSorley’s proficiency in navigating complex litigation will be a valuable asset for the firm’s clients, particularly in an era where enforcement initiatives remain a top priority for regulators.
McSorley’s move to Crowell & Moring follows a trend where law firms are actively recruiting former government litigators to capitalize on their insider knowledge of regulatory frameworks and enforcement priorities. This trend is seen as crucial for firms aiming to provide thorough compliance and defense strategies to clients faced with potential government actions.
