Anne O’Brien Named President of American Society for Pharmacy Law
Anne M. O’Brien, partner and member of Quarles & Brady LLP’s Health Law Practice Group, has been named president of the American Society for Pharmacy Law (ASPL). O’Brien officially began her duties as president at the ASPL annual meeting in San Diego, November 7-10.
In a release, the firm said O’Brien has participated in multiple committees, including the sub-committee for Education, serving as ASPL treasurer and, most recently, president-elect. As president, one of her key initiatives will be to continue expansion of the organization’s content and educational programming for members. O’Brien said she also hopes to continue the steady growth in membership ASPL has experienced over the past several years.
In her practice, O’Brien advises pharmacies, wholesale distributors, and manufacturers regarding regulatory compliance and licensing issues. She represents pharmacists, pharmacies, and other entities in civil and administrative venues in matters related to discipline and licensure, actions filed by Medicaid to recoup payments and terminate provider status, audits by public and private payers, petitioning for reinstatement of eligibility to participate in Medicare, and the defense of medical negligence claims.
