Foley & Lardner LLP today published its fourth annual Health Care & Life Sciences Top Trends report exploring significant business and legal issues arising from the rapid regulatory changes and technology advancements that are transforming this space.
Multiple interconnected factors are driving developments and spurring companies across the health care and life sciences sectors to adjust focus and adapt to the shifting terrain. As the second Trump administration ushers in change at all levels of the federal government, health care and life sciences companies are emphasizing preparation for that transformation and its accompanying uncertainty.
New leadership in Washington comes with evolving enforcement priorities on issues like the False Claims Act (FCA), making health care litigation a key space to watch. Incoming changes at the Centers of Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) raise questions about the Medicare Advantage program’s future, and the fallout from the U.S. Supreme Court’s Chevron overturn continues to fuel developments in health care litigation.
Health care and life sciences companies are also keeping a close eye on M&A oversight. While the new administration’s approach on competition issues has yet to take shape, a flurry of legislative activity at the state level has introduced additional regulatory scrutiny on health care transactions to address competition, quality, access, and cost of health care.
Artificial intelligence (AI) also remains at the forefront of business disruption. With the legal and regulatory frameworks covering AI still in their infancy, health care and life sciences companies need to balance the competitive advantages AI implementation can deliver against an intricate web of requirements, challenges, and risks.
“The modern health care and life sciences environment requires businesses to continually deliver better patient care more efficiently, all while staying closely attuned to government decision making, market forces, and the relentless pace of technological advancement,” said Susan Pravda, chair of Foley’s Health Care & Life Sciences Sector.
Foley’s 2025 Health Care & Life Sciences Top Trends publication unravels this complex ecosystem, exploring these topics and more to help companies maximize opportunities and steer clear of challenges.
