Alexis Gilroy, a national leader in the digital health industry, advises on complex transactional and health regulatory issues with an emphasis on virtual health methods, such as telemedicine, telehealth, and mobile health. With more than two decades in digital health her experience supports various regulatory counseling and transactional needs for health AI, digital health product development, and life sciences organizations, including novel virtual clinical trial offerings. Alexis is co-leader of the Firm's Health Care & Life Sciences Practice.
Focused on transactions across the health care, life sciences, and digital health sectors on innovative technologies and methods, Alexis pairs practical experience with a keen understanding of often novel and still evolving federal and state regulatory requirements. Health systems and other health providers, virtual care companies, technology organizations, pharmacy and retail leaders, life sciences businesses, medical device organizations, and investors across the United States and abroad seek her legal counsel. She frequently structures and negotiates telehealth specific services and affiliation contracts and manages health regulatory matters for M&A and equity transactions with both investor/buy-side and company/target-side experience. She also advises on multijurisdictional digital health strategy and implementation, state-specific telehealth regulation, corporate practice of medicine, reimbursement, online prescribing, patient consent, credentialing by proxy, remote supervision, and fraud and abuse considerations.
Alexis speaks and writes extensively on matters involving digital health, including testimony before legislative and regulatory bodies. She was an appointee to the Maryland governor's Telemedicine Task Force, member of the Federation of State Medical Boards' workgroup on telehealth, leader of the American Bar Association's Science & Technology Practice Group, and leader of the American Health Lawyer Association's (AHLA) E-Health and Telemedicine Affinity Group.
