Chambers USA - America's Leading Business Lawyers, June 1, 2006

Powers Pyles Sutter & Verville PC is pleased to announce that three partners, Mark Fitzgerald, Mary Susan Philp, and Robert Saner, were selected for the 2006 Chambers USA - America's Leading Business Lawyers.  Chambers’ rankings were compiled from over 5,000 independent interviews with top business leaders and legal advisors.  Chambers investigated the top firms and lawyers in over 20 areas of commercial law and applied a ranking of 1-6 based on reputation in the market, technical legal ability, professional conduct, client service, diligence, and commitment.

Of Powers Pyles Sutter & Verville, the Chambers editors state:

The Firm.  One of the last boutiques left in the field in DC, this practice maintains a "significant presence" with its "technically strong lawyers" who are especially rated by competitors for their regulatory counseling and Medicare reimbursement expertise. Its work also includes advising in relation to healthcare transactions, fraud and abuse matters, corporate compliance work and antitrust issues.

The Lawyers.  The "down-to-earth" Mark Fitzgerald is especially rated by interviewees for his transactional expertise, with particular mention being made of his work in relation to physician compensation, Stark and antikickback issues. One client noted: "He's a generous guy - not a guy who would regularly run the clock on me for a 15-minute call." Mary Susan Philp was lauded by clients for her work in relation to Medicare regulatory, reimbursement and hospital cost reports. Bob Saner was described by peers as having "great experience and judgment." His practice focuses largely on physician organizations.

Clients/Work Highlights. Clients include integrated delivery systems; multihospital systems; hospitals; medical group practices; nursing homes and medical equipment providers.
