Representative Cases
Several health care enrollees brought a putative class action against the firm’s client and several of the largest managed care entities doing business in Texas, claiming among other things that the defendants were breaching their fiduciary duties under ERISA by failing to disclose alleged financial incentives for participating physicians to limit care. The firm’s briefing resulted in dismissal of the plaintiffs’ claims in advance of class certification proceedings. After briefing and argument, the United States Court of Appeals affirmed the dismissal.
