John William Leardi Email & Phone Number

I represent healthcare providers and related businesses in both transactions and disputes. I am comfortable with advocating for my clients in both the courtroom and the boardroom.My clients include include physicians and physician groups, DME suppliers, clinical laboratories, independent pharmacies, outpatient surgical facilities, group purchasing organizations, health IT companies, medical management companies, and third-party billing services.The principal focus of my healthcare dispute practice is provider reimbursement. For almost 20 years, I have defended providers in overpayment recovery disputes involving allegations of improper coding and claim submissions, kickbacks, self-referrals, improper practice structure, and medically unnecessary services. I also represent healthcare providers and their patients in pursuing claims for unpaid or underpaid benefits, on both an individual and, where appropriate, a class-wide basis. Drawing on my experience as a multiple-exit entrepreneur, I also advise healthcare businesses of all shapes and sizes on corporate and transactional matters. These include: corporate formation, restructuring, and dissolution; mergers, acquisitions, and spin-offs; commercial contracts and leases; employer/employee relations; restrictive covenants; insurance coverage and reimbursement; business torts; administrative and regulatory compliance; information security; and the protection of confidential and proprietary information.This profile is for informational purposes only.
