Former Health and Human Services and Department of Justice Attorney Andy Miller Rejoins Locke Lord's Chicago Office as Partner
Andy Miller has rejoined Locke Lord’s Chicago office as a Partner in the Firm’s Health and Managed Care Litigation Practice Group. Miller brings to the Firm a wide range of regulatory and litigation, including patent litigation, antitrust and government relations experience across the health care industry.
Previously, Miller was an attorney in the National Complex Litigation and Investigations Division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Office of the General Counsel, where he oversaw the organization’s largest, most complex and high-profile cases across its litigation and regulatory portfolio. He was also appointed by the HHS Secretary as one of only six individuals to serve as a panel member on the newly formed 340B Administrative Dispute Resolution Board. In this role, he adjudicated disputes between covered entities and manufacturers. During his tenure at HHS, he concurrently served as Special Attorney for the Commercial Litigation Branch, Civil Division of the U.S. Department of Justice.
“Andy is an exceptional and dynamic addition to our Health and Managed Care Litigation Practice Group, and his esteemed background in both the public sector and private practice coupled with his extensive litigation and regulatory experience will enhance the Firm’s capabilities not only in Chicago but across the country,” said Ashlee Knuckey, Chicago Partner and Co-Chair of Locke Lord’s Health and Managed Care Litigation Practice Group. “We are incredibly excited to welcome Andy back home to Locke Lord as an integral part of our team.”
Miller focuses his practice on the interplay between litigation and regulatory issues affecting the health care industry. He has over 13 years of experience litigating complex, multiparty, multidistrict cases and proficiency with various regulatory issues, including FDA, ACA, 340B and HIPAA compliance. Miller is well versed in all pre-trial, trial and post-trial phases of federal court litigation. He has litigated several large-scale patent-infringement actions under the Hatch-Waxman Amendments to the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act for pharmaceutical products. He also counsels clients regarding regulatory compliance. Miller has represented clients in antitrust actions related to pharmaceutical products, including actions involving reverse payments, product hopping and risk evaluation and mitigation strategies.
“Locke Lord’s national presence paired with its exceptional commitment to clients across a broad range of practice groups offered me the ideal platform to come back to,” said Miller. “It’s a pleasure to return to the Firm and once again work alongside so many outstanding colleagues, while also being able to provide clients with a unique perspective to help them navigate today’s complex legal issues in the health care sector.”
Locke Lord’s Health and Managed Care Litigation Practice Group includes trial and regulatory lawyers who routinely represent the interests of multinational health insurers, managed care organizations (MCOs), pharmaceutical companies, medical device companies, distributors, PBMS, TPAs, hospitals, multihospital health systems, physicians and physician groups, academic medical centers, skilled nursing centers, and home health, hospice and long-term care facilities in a range of disputes, litigation, arbitration, investigations, civil investigative demand (CID) proceedings, administrative proceedings and threatened litigation, including high-profile matters involving billion-dollar claims and cutting-edge issues.
