Virginia defends clients in the managed health care and financial services sectors in complex litigation in state and federal courts. Her thorough understanding of plaintiffs' strategies and tactics helps clients to effectively navigate their most challenging disputes.
Virginia is a first chair litigator with a diverse practice, representing clients in the health care and financial services sectors. Her managed health care work is focused on defending insurers, managed care organizations, and plan administrators in complex multiparty and single-plaintiff litigation. Virginia helps clients navigate a range of claims, including bad faith, breach of contract, ERISA, the Mental Health Parity Act (MHPA), out-of-network, and issues arising under common law. As a go-to advisor for some of the largest companies in the U.S., Virginia has litigated matters in more than 21 states.
Virginia also has a long track record of resolving cases involving the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), and its state analogues, for both managed health care and consumer financial services clients. Virginia's approach is thorough and practical, developing a road map for early resolution through dispositive motion practice, settlement, and other creative means. With experience in the federal and state appellate courts, she helps to position clients for success as they face an increasingly aggressive plaintiffs' bar.
