Dorsey lawyers have been partners in innovation with leaders of the consumer-driven health care industry in America. Their groundbreaking work with Definity Health Corporation was integral to the development of health reimbursement arrangements (“HRAs”), and to official recognition of these arrangements in IRS Notice 2002-45. Dorsey lawyers have represented some of the nation’s largest banks and insurance companies in the development of health savings account products and services, and we were pioneers in the use of VEBAs to fund retiree health care savings arrangements. Some of the most innovative and effective wellness programs in America have been designed with the advice and assistance of Dorsey lawyers on the cutting edge of the law. Within the consumer-driven heath care industry, Dorsey lawyers have extensive experience in capital formation, mergers and acquisitions, technology development and licensing, and corporate governance.
Dorsey lawyers bring more than technical expertise to this area of the law. We bring ideas, networking contacts, relevant experience and industry lore. We work with members of Congress, regulators, lobbyists and others on the development of national policy in this area. We closely follow new ventures and opportunities that arise as America’s health care delivery system becomes market-driven for the first time in nearly a century
