Alison Goldman is a white-collar defense and healthcare compliance attorney who has represented corporations and individuals in high-stakes investigations and litigation, opposite the U.S. Department of Justice, the New York Attorney General, and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The white-collar bar is shaped by the agencies it sits across the table from. Alison's practice spans the three forums where most major healthcare and corporate enforcement activity actually originates: federal prosecutors, state attorneys general (particularly the NY AG, which has been the most aggressive state-level healthcare enforcer in the country for the last decade), and the SEC. Defending across all three teaches a particular kind of procedural fluency.
Before joining Health Law Alliance, Alison practiced at a large international law firm in New York, representing corporations and individuals in high-stakes matters. The international-firm bench gave her direct exposure to the way the largest investigations are structured: parallel proceedings across multiple agencies, document review at scale, witness preparation across multiple jurisdictions, and the quiet pre-charging negotiations that decide whether a case ever becomes public.
One of Alison's notable matters was a favorable civil settlement with the New York Attorney General for one of the largest skilled nursing facility operators in New York in a healthcare fraud prosecution. Skilled nursing facility (SNF) enforcement has been one of the NY AG's most active enforcement programs, and resolutions in that space typically involve significant Medicaid recoupment, civil money penalties, and corporate integrity obligations. Alison's work there reflects the kind of multi-track resolution that healthcare-specific white-collar matters require.
Alison has represented clients in complex commercial and securities litigation, and in criminal and regulatory investigations by U.S. DOJ, the New York Attorney General, and the SEC. The defense use of multi-forum experience is direct: many high-stakes healthcare investigations now run in parallel - DOJ Civil Division on the False Claims Act track, U.S. Attorney's Office on the criminal Anti-Kickback or healthcare fraud track, the relevant state AG on the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit (MFCU) track, and HHS-OIG on the exclusion track - and the defense framework has to coordinate across all of them.
Alison earned her Juris Doctor from the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, where she served as Notes Editor and Staff Editor of the Cardozo Law Review and was a member of the Alexander Fellows Program. She completed a judicial externship in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York. Before law school, she earned her Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and International Affairs from George Washington University, magna cum laude.
At Health Law Alliance, Alison's work integrates with the firm's former-prosecutor and senior-healthcare-executive bench. Her white-collar defense and multi-forum investigation experience complements the firm's broader practice across PBM audits, DEA matters, healthcare fraud defense, and False Claims Act work. Alison takes a leading role on matters where the procedural posture spans multiple regulators and where the matter requires coordinated investigation response across federal, state, and securities-side enforcers.
