Spreeha Choudhury

Holding both a Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) and a Juris Doctor (J.D.), Spreeha Choudhury brings a combination of clinical foundation and legal rigor to Epstein Becker Green. She guides clients through the dense web of federal and state laws governing pharmacy practice, distribution, and life sciences commercialization.

Spreeha's practice centers on comprehensive pharmacy regulatory counseling and commercial arrangements. She routinely advises pharmacy clients on federal and state regulatory frameworks, wholesale distribution and DSCSA compliance, resident and nonresident licensure requirements, state scope-of-practice requirements for pharmacists, interstate dispensing and shipping, compounding requirements, controlled substance regulations, and pharmacy board enforcement matters. Spreeha frequently leads and manages the multistate regulatory filings required for pharmacy changes of ownership (CHOW) and restructuring. As a trusted coordinator, she aligns cross-functional legal, regulatory, and corporate teams, along with local and specialized outside counsel, to ensure seamless transitions.

In health care transactions, Spreeha provides regulatory diligence for buyers evaluating specialty and retail pharmacy targets. Clients rely on her to spot and resolve critical regulatory risks, including federal and state fraud and abuse, pricing and patient steering considerations, patient payment and co-pay collection models, manufacturer copay assistance and coupon programs, and data and privacy rules. She also reviews and negotiates operational agreements between retail, specialty, mail-order, and compounding pharmacies and their key partners, including pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), drug manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors, hub vendors, health systems, group purchasing organizations, and other service vendors.
