Anthony Mahajan, Founding Partner
A Note from the Founder

"I spent nine years prosecuting healthcare cases for the DOJ. Then I ran compliance for the largest healthcare company in America. Now I use what I learned on both sides to defend the people being investigated."

After leaving the U.S. Attorney's Office, I served as Chief Compliance Officer at UnitedHealth Group and Chief Counsel at McKesson - overseeing legal operations for companies generating hundreds of billions in revenue. I founded Health Law Alliance because pharmacies, physicians, and healthcare companies deserve defense counsel who genuinely understand how PBMs build audit cases, how DOJ prosecutors decide what to charge, and how the DEA evaluates registrants. We know - because we used to do it.

What People Actually Ask Us
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I call an attorney about a healthcare legal matter?+
Before you respond to anything. Whether it's a PBM audit notice, a grand jury subpoena, an unannounced inspection, or a request for records from HHS-OIG - the most consequential decision you make is engaging counsel before you speak, call back, or hand over a single document. What you say or produce can be used against you. Our team will assess your exposure, build an action plan, and handle every communication from that point forward.
Do you represent clients nationwide?+
Yes. We represent pharmacies, physicians, and healthcare businesses across the country in federal and state matters. Our attorneys are admitted in multiple jurisdictions and routinely appear in federal courts, state courts, and before federal and state regulatory bodies nationwide.
What kinds of healthcare clients do you defend?+
Independent and chain pharmacies, 503A and 503B compounding pharmacies, physicians and physician groups, DEA registrants, labs, medical device companies, health systems, and private equity investors in healthcare. If you operate in a regulated healthcare space, we can help.
What does an initial consultation cost?+
Nothing. Every initial consultation is free and 100% confidential, protected by attorney-client privilege. Given that the matters we handle often involve six or seven figures in exposure, a no-cost strategy conversation with experienced counsel is an obvious first step.
How fast can you get involved?+
Immediately. We're available 24/7 for urgent matters. A senior attorney will review your situation within hours and, where the timeline requires it, we engage the same day.
Is my conversation with your team confidential?+
Yes. From the first conversation forward, your communications with our attorneys are protected by attorney-client privilege. We never share details of your matter with anyone outside the firm without your authorization.
