Reed Smith LLP
James represents members of the health and life sciences industries, trade associations, and other clients in important, precedent-setting cases at the trial and appellate levels of court systems throughout the United States, as well as matters before administrative and arbitral tribunals. These cases range from significant False Claims Act matters based on complicated regulatory theories, appeals from adverse judgments in cases presenting legal questions of first impression, reimbursement disputes involving hundreds of millions of dollars, substantive and procedural challenges of agency regulations, and matters before the Supreme Court of the United States with nationwide consequences.
James also advises clients with respect to legislative proposals pending before Congress on topics such as Medicare, Medicaid, the False Claims Act, and arbitration. In addition, he has significant experience advising clients regarding matters under consideration in the federal rulemaking process. For example, James has drafted regulatory comments that, on multiple occasions, have served as the basis for successful legal challenges of regulations promulgated by federal agencies.
Lastly, James has significant experience advising clients regarding critical issues arising during the COVID-19 pandemic. For example, he has advised numerous clients regarding the $178 billion grant program for eligible health care providers first established by the CARES Act, and has helped clients navigate other legislative and regulatory responses to the pandemic.
