Coppersmith Brockelman has scaled its interoperability litigation capabilities in response to rising demand for data-sharing guidance in an increasingly regulated environment. This expansion strengthens the firm’s ability to guide clients through a wider range of interoperability challenges where regulatory obligations around data access, APIs, and system design intersect with commercial contracts and competitive conflicts.

The enhanced practice merges regulatory depth with litigation strength to provide a full range of counsel, from early dispute strategy to formal proceedings when necessary. Partner Mel Soliz leads the effort, bringing deep experience with federal and state information blocking and interoperability mandates, HIN/HIE frameworks, and health IT infrastructure. She works alongside partner Gabriel Aragon, whose practice focuses on high-stakes commercial litigation, and partner Andrew Fox, who brings valuable experience in unfair competition litigation and technology-driven conflicts.

These attorneys bring the sophistication and cross-disciplinary expertise needed to resolve interoperability disputes efficiently and effectively, representing clients in matters involving:

• Information blocking complaints and investigations
• Pre-litigation strategy grounded in interoperability requirements
• Contract and unfair-competition disputes tied to data access, APIs, and system functionality
• Conflicts over data availability and system design
• HIN/HIE framework disputes
