At the 2025 Value-Based Care Forum, Juliette Price of HSG (Helgerson Solutions Group) outlined a clear reality: value-based care is no longer theoretical, it is a structural shift reshaping how care is delivered and paid for.

At its core, value-based care is a reimbursement approach that rewards providers for quality and outcomes rather than volume of services, with payments tied to performance measures and providers sharing in both financial risk and reward. That shift is playing out across all levels of adoption, from fee-for-service models linked to quality metrics to arrangements that place providers at full financial risk through population-based payments such as capitation or global budgets.

With nearly a third of payments already tied to downside risk, and mandatory models pushing adoption forward, the pace of change is only increasing.

The next inflection point will depend heavily on commercial payors, which cover a significant portion of the population but remain among the slowest adopters. As healthcare costs continue to rise, pressure is building for broader participation in value-based models.

For providers, the takeaway is straightforward: preparation is no longer optional. View the full Keynote Address here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8jZoWDTiUo

Pro bono work has the power to create lasting change, and Miami associate Samuel Ludington is helping lead that impact.

Recently featured by the University of Miami School of Law following his receipt of the Equal Justice Pro Bono Rising Star Award from Legal Services of Greater Miami, Sam has played a key role in expanding access to legal representation for families navigating special education challenges.

Through a partnership with Legal Services of Greater Miami and several law firms, Sam has supported families working to secure legally required accommodations for their children, efforts that can shape a student’s future both in and out of the classroom.

“Success in these cases can change the trajectory of a student’s academic and personal life,” Sam shared. “It has been particularly rewarding helping parents who are trying their hardest to ensure their children are afforded the necessary accommodations for success.”

Sam’s work reflects the meaningful role pro bono service plays in strengthening communities and expanding access to opportunity. Learn more: https://www.nelsonmullins.com/insights/news/in_the_news/sam-ludington-featured-by-university-of-miami-school-of-law-following-pro-bono-award-recognition

Cybersecurity enforcement often comes down to a simple question: where is federal money involved?

In this clip, Bart Daniel, Matt Austin, and David Yang discuss how the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is using the False Claims Act to pursue cybersecurity-related cases tied to Department of Defense (DoD) contracts and other federal funding. When compliance certifications are connected to payment, enforcement risk increases.

Through its Civil Cyber-Fraud Initiative, the DOJ has made clear that cybersecurity is a fraud priority, not just a technical one. Contractors should understand how their representations, internal assessments, and reporting decisions may be evaluated if scrutiny arises.

For companies receiving federal funds or performing work under government contracts, proactive legal guidance can help assess exposure and strengthen compliance before issues escalate.
