Our Successes

A health information management company, facing ongoing litigation concerning whether state statutes afford the ability to collect fees for health records searches, whether or not a record is found. We offered a legislative fix to several pending bills, and state law was modified in our client’s favor. Also, we helped pass a consumer price index adjustment to the allowable fee for records searches. The legislative changes potentially can save our client millions of dollars annually and significantly increase its revenue.

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought many challenges and hardships, but we have been able to work with multiple clients regarding the opportunities it has also presented. We assisted clients with numerous procurement opportunities – both emergency and regular procurements – during the pandemic. These opportunities included assisting clients in personal protective equipment (PPE) acquisition with state and local governments, both on an emergency basis and actively registering them on the state marketplace. Additionally, we successfully worked with a small, private Minority Business Enterprise lab and obtained a contract with the state to perform COVID-19 testing for its facilities and community-based testing. We also opened doors for clients to compete for opportunities regarding test kits and contact tracing.

Our client is a large provider of data and access to data for numerous employers and financial institutions in making their business decisions. We successfully defeated numerous pieces of legislation that attempted to make it more difficult to obtain consumer information for purposes of performing background checks and credit checks, including the nondisclosure of misdemeanor offenses/traffic violations and attempts to curtail the use of credit scores in hiring decisions. The continued use of consumer data information and understanding the state’s Sunshine Law are becoming increasingly important with COVID-19 impact to business operations.
