SAN DIEGO (July 20, 2021) – Tyson & Mendes LLP announced today the expansion of its Healthcare Practice Group with the appointment of industry-leading trial and appellate litigator Margaret “Peggy” Holm as chair and the addition of two new attorneys joining the firm’s rapidly-growing specialty practice group.

“This is a dynamic and fast-growing field of law because healthcare is one of the largest and most heavily regulated industries in the U.S.,” said Managing Partner Robert Tyson. “Our robust bench of healthcare attorneys provides our clients with the legal counsel required to defend against fraud claims and civil lawsuits, and we are thrilled to add this immensely talented group of healthcare-focused lawyers to our practice.”

Holm is a veteran litigator with decades of experience defending national and regional insurers, as well as individuals, businesses, and organizations. An ABOTA Diplomate and a Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers, she is widely recognized as one of the nation’s leading trial and appellate litigators for large healthcare entities in complex civil disputes, defending national and regional insurers as well as healthcare organizations and providers, including hospitals, medical professionals, nursing homes and long-term care facilities.

“We are honored to have such a well-renowned leader and widely respected legal professional as Peggy join our firm and serve as chair of our Healthcare Practice Group,” said Tyson. “Her extensive experience in both the courtroom and the boardroom presents opportunities for Tyson & Mendes, particularly in connection with representation of large health care entities.”

This practice group defends healthcare organizations and providers, including hospitals, nursing facilities, long-term care providers, behavioral health providers, clinical laboratories, pharmacies, individual practitioners, and regional and national insurers in all types of case matters, such as catastrophic injury and wrongful death, healthcare fraud and abuse, medical malpractice, mental and behavioral health, neurological injuries, paralysis and amputation, regulatory compliance, and severe emotional damages.

With 14 nationwide offices serving 17 states, Tyson & Mendes is one of the country’s fastest growing civil defense firms. For more information and to view career opportunities, visit www.tysonmendes.com.
