Many of our members have practiced in the health care arena for twenty years or more, and a number of our members have held leadership positions with federal or state regulatory or enforcement agencies and professional organizations. Drawing upon this experience and the support of their colleagues in C&M's affiliated practice areas, the Health Care Group can offer a deep and experienced team of innovative and efficient counsel to our health care clients. This enables clients to entrust us with their most complex and challenging litigation, transactions and counseling projects.
The Crowell & Moring Health Care Group prides itself not only on its ability to understand, address, and resolve difficult legal issues affecting our clients, but in developing attentive and responsive working relationships with these clients as well. From start up organizations to the largest health care companies, we enjoy working with our clients not simply as attorneys, but as strategic business partners. We strive to effectuate legal solutions in keeping with our clients' business goals and objectives.
Our Health Care Group is committed to serving our clients in a variety of ways beyond the traditional attorney-client relationship. Each year the Group sponsors a two-day client conference at our firm's offices in Washington, D.C. This popular annual conference provides a great opportunity to update our clients on recent legal developments in a relaxed, collegial atmosphere. The Washington, D.C. location also permits us to augment our own Group members' expert presentations with the participation of key government decision-makers. This direct contact with federal policy makers, regulators, and enforcement agencies provides our clients with invaluable insight into the government's mindset.
Throughout the year, Crowell & Moring offers up-to-date information in Health Law 'In The News', provides the Managed Care Lawsuit Watch, a resource updated monthly that tracks the latest rulings in litigation affecting managed care. In addition, when new legal developments occur which impact our clients, we promptly issue timely Health Provider Alerts providing our Group's insight and advice
In addition to membership in other key professional associations, all of our attorneys are members of the American Health Lawyers Association. Our members have historically, and currently, occupied important leadership positions with the AHLA, and lecture and write frequently for this and other nationally-recognized health law-related associations. These activities permit us to remain well-informed on emerging legal issues, and provide us unique opportunities to share our views and interact with key government and other leaders.
