Commercial law

Um, as you said, I'm David Pivnick.

I'm a partner in the Commercial Litigation department at McGuireWoods in Chicago.

Uh, my practice for about the last, uh, about 17 years now is focused heavily on healthcare litigation, uh, in the last several years, particularly with private equity litigation and investment in the healthcare industry.

Thank you.
