Healthcare Attorney

Robert Half • San Diego, CA • 1h ago

Description

We are looking for a litigation attorney with 3+ years of experience to join a reputable, 200+ attorney firm, serving hospitals and health plans. This position focuses on resolving complex disputes and advising clients on regulatory, operational, and contractual issues affecting care providers. The role offers a strong mix of counseling and dispute resolution work, with an emphasis on mediation and arbitration rather than frequent courtroom trials. This role can be remote, with a strong preference for candidates local to Southern California.

Responsibilities:

Represent healthcare clients in litigation-related matters with a primary emphasis on mediation, arbitration, and other dispute resolution proceedings.

Counsel health plans, hospitals, and related organizations on healthcare regulations, compliance obligations, and day-to-day operational legal issues.

Provide legal guidance on reimbursement matters, including issues involving public healthcare programs and managed care arrangements.

Advise clients on health information privacy and security requirements and support risk management efforts related to sensitive data.

Assist with healthcare transactions, including merger and acquisition matters, by evaluating legal risks and supporting deal execution.

Prepare motions, briefs, discovery materials, and other legal documents in support of active healthcare disputes.

Maintain a practice consistent with an annual billable expectation of 1,850 hours, with eligible pro bono time counting toward that target.

Perks of Firm:

· Work-from-anywhere policy.

· The healthcare team is woman run; it's a combination of litigators and transactional lawyers.

· Good community, despite being mostly remote. Every office has weekly lunches and regular practice group meetings.

· Employee resource groups for certain demographics / employees interested in certain topics.

Requirements

Active attorney license required in CA

At least 3 years of experience practicing civil litigation in CA.

Demonstrated ability to draft motions, briefs, and other substantive legal filings.

Experience managing discovery and supporting dispute resolution strategy.

Familiarity with mediation processes and resolving matters outside of trial.
