Three Litigators Become Shareholders at Buchalter
Andy Selesnick and Damaris L. Medina, both formerly of Nixon Peabody LLP, are now all shareholders in Buchalter PC’s Los Angeles health care practice.
Selesnick and Medina are litigators whose work largely includes reimbursement matters on behalf of physicians, physician groups, hospitals, pharmacies, dentists and other providers. Their work also includes fraud and abuse cases as well as business disputes. A case they argued in the California Supreme Court led to emergency services providers being able to hold health plans liable for “negligently delegating their financial responsibility to [independent practice associations],” Buchalter said.
Health chair Carol Lucas called the addition of the three new shareholders complementary to the firm's transactional health care and life sciences work.
“We are thrilled to welcome the newest members of our team, and delighted to offer their impressive capabilities to our clients,” Lucas said in a statement.
Selesnick earned his law degree at the University of San Diego School of Law and a Bachelor of Arts at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Medina earned her law degree at Suffolk University Law School and a Bachelor of Arts from Tufts University.
