Polsinelli PC

If healthcare law is your passion, Polsinelli is the undisputed leader. Named Law Firm of the Year for Health Care by U.S. News and World Report, and consistently ranked at the top by Chambers USA for its healthcare practice, Polsinelli fields one of the largest concentrations of healthcare attorneys in the nation. With approximately 1,120 attorneys across more than 20 offices, anchored by its Kansas City headquarters, the firm has grown into a true Am Law 100 presence.

Polsinelli's healthcare department is enormous and comprehensive, covering regulatory compliance, transactions, litigation, real estate, intellectual property, and government investigations across every segment of the healthcare industry. Beyond healthcare, the firm has nationally recognized practices in real estate, financial services, technology, and corporate transactions. The firm earned a ranking of 59th on the Am Law 200, reflecting its steady revenue growth.

The culture at Polsinelli is collaborative, entrepreneurial, and notably less hierarchical than many similarly sized firms. The firm operates a free-market system for summer associates, and associates consistently report strong mentorship and a genuine commitment to professional development. The Kansas City roots give the firm a Midwestern warmth that distinguishes it from coastal competitors.

When recruiting, any healthcare industry exposure, clinical, regulatory, or policy, is a major differentiator. Polsinelli also values candidates who can articulate why they want to be part of a fast-growing national platform rather than a legacy firm. Show genuine enthusiasm for the firm's trajectory and its industry-focused approach.
