Drawing on experience from serving on Capitol Hill, in the judiciary, and in private practice, Nick DiCarlo delivers informed and objective guidance to each of his representations. Whether navigating corporate clients through crises, advising individuals caught in the crosshairs of government investigations, or helping patients and health care providers recoup benefits owed, Nick marries his communications know-how with a natural facility for productive discourse to advance his clients’ objectives.

Nick is frequently called upon to counsel clients through government investigations and litigation. Accustomed to interfacing with regulators and other government lawyers, he is well-equipped to advise clients on untangling obligations in white collar proceedings, making thoughtful and appropriate disclosures, and more broadly, decoding the government’s priorities.

In his litigation practice, Nick confronts thorny issues and powerful adversaries to help solve his clients’ legal challenges. He represents plaintiffs and defendants, individuals and corporations, and insurers and insureds in tackling complex questions such as whether an insurer has an obligation to provide coverage for industry-leading genetic testing services. Although Nick’s practice spans industries and subject matters, it often focuses on health care, where he litigates statutory rights and works on behalf of patients and health care providers to hold large insurers accountable for benefits owed. Nick credits his passion for work in the health care space to his exposure to these issues while working in government.

Prior to joining the firm, Nick was a law clerk to The Honorable M. Margaret McKeown on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. He previously was a litigation associate at an international law firm in Washington, DC, and served for five years as a policy advisor in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives. From 2009 to 2014, Nick advised U.S. Congresswoman-then U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin on employment and health issues including the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, helped to prepare for House Energy & Commerce Committee and Senate Health, Education, Labor & Pensions Committee hearings and mark-ups, drafted legislation, and met with constituents, businesses, and interest groups.
