Davis & Wilkerson Healthcare Practice Group Secures Place as One of the State’s Best

July 5, 2011 - PRLog -- AUSTIN, Texas – July 5, 2011 – Chambers and Partners, the legal industry’s leading purveyor of independent research and rankings of law firms and their attorneys, has once again ranked the Healthcare Practice Group of Davis & Wilkerson, P.C. (www.dwlaw.com) as one of the state’s best.

“Davis & Wilkerson continues to retain its reputation as the primary go-to firm for rural Texas hospitals,” according to the UK-based organization. “Transactions, regulatory compliance and operational issues are all skillfully handled by the team, which also has noted expertise in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. Clients appreciate that the firm has highly trained and competent individuals to assist in both corporate issues and litigation.”

Chambers made special mention of Kevin Reed, Fletcher Brown and Jennifer Claymon, sharing the following narrative:

“’Bright and hard-working’ Kevin Reed heads the group,” wrote Chambers. “He recently acted for a nonprofit hospital in its complete, multileveled reorganization. ‘He is outstanding - accessible, intelligent and experienced,’ enthused one observer. Like Reed, Fletcher Brown is noted for his impressive expertise in the area of hospital organization and reorganization. Additionally, he continues to impress commentators with ‘second-to-none client care.’ Jennifer Claymon recently assisted various rural hospital clients in updating their compliance programs and conducting compliance training. Clients describe her as ‘knowledgeable and very easy to work with.’”

Reed said the honor was a tremendous endorsement of the work the group is doing.

“We are very appreciative of the continued recognition by Chambers and Partners in the category of Healthcare Law, and value the recommendations from our trusted clients, which helped create such recognition,” said Reed.

Brown added that the group does not take the honor lightly.

“One of the reasons that we continue to earn such recognition is that we proactively track relevant developments not only in the state of Texas, but nationally,” said Brown. “Our clients trust us to stay on top of issues that impact their facility. That commitment will not change.”
