Health care clients turn to attorney Tanya Cramer for guidance on antitrust law and regulatory compliance matters.
With extensive experience working with clients across the health care industry—including nonprofit hospital systems and academic medical centers, physician groups and other provider organizations, health plans, staffing companies, pharmacy organizations, trade associations, and marketing organizations—she provides practical advice to help businesses achieve their goals while minimizing legal risks.
