Changing Policies and Attitudes: Impacts on Medical Product Litigation
Eric Alexander, Megan Mocho, Juliet McBride, and Sara Klock, all partners at Holland & Knight, bring their diverse background in representing medical product manufacturers and other life science and healthcare companies in product liability, False Claims Act, FDA, CMS, and other areas of litigation and investigations to address the impact of changing federal government policies and practices concerning public health. In addition to the current administration’s approach to these issues, recent caselaw has diminished deference to federal agencies and public attitudes about them have seen a decided shift. Life sciences companies would be well-advised to consider how these changes will affect their businesses and liabilities in 2026 and beyond.
