Benjamin Y. Lin
“Litigation and investigations may be a cost of doing business in the health care industry, but my job is to keep those costs to a minimum, whether they manifest themselves in dollars and cents or anxiety and disruption.”
A seasoned litigator with extensive and diverse experience protecting his clients’ interests in court, administrative proceedings, and government investigations, Ben Lin understands that effective advocacy and consummate professionalism go hand-in-hand. While the former is indispensable for obtaining positive outcomes, Ben knows that the latter can also be instrumental in reaching cost-effective, early resolutions that spare his clients from the disruption, risk, and anxiety of protracted disputes or inquiries.
Ben focuses his litigation practice on fraud and abuse litigation, including matters involving Stark law, the anti-kickback statute, the False Claims Act, and state-level equivalents, as well as government investigations and administrative actions. He has handled client intake and management, settlement negotiations, court hearings, mediations, federal agency interviews, and deposition preparation and defense. Ben also has experience drafting pleadings, dispositive motions, discovery motions, discovery requests and responses, civil investigation demands, mediation statements, and settlement agreements. At every stage of the litigation and investigation lifecycles, Ben’s analytical mindset and ability to identify core concerns and interests allow him to formulate approaches that eschew distracting yet inconsequential disputes to focus instead on the core issues that hold the key to a matter’s favorable and expeditious conclusion.
Having spent most of his career immersed in health care law, Ben appreciates the unique pressures and priorities faced by providers and the organizations through which they serve patients. He knows the legal, financial, and reputational stakes for his clients when they find themselves on the receiving end of a claim, complaint, or investigative demand. That is why Ben endeavors to reassure them and assuage their concerns by providing them with clear direction, context, and creative solutions. Fluent in Mandarin, Ben is also fastidious with his communication, always making himself available to answer a complex question or address an urgent issue, a quality that instills in his clients both trust and confidence.
