Nixon Law Group

What Nixon Law Group does

Nixon Law Group is a female-founded, female-led boutique law firm specializing exclusively in digital health law. Headquartered in Vienna, Virginia, the firm operates as a fully remote practice and provides regulatory and transactional legal counsel to digital health companies, venture capital investors, providers, payers, and health technology startups across the company lifecycle, from formation through IPO readiness. Core practice areas include FDA regulation (including Software as a Medical Device), CMS reimbursement strategy, telehealth and remote patient monitoring compliance, HIPAA and privacy, healthcare AI governance, value-based care, and corporate transactions for digital health operators.

The firm's service portfolio is organized around specialized sub-practices tailored to the digital health ecosystem, including Healthcare AI legal advisory, Pediatric Digital Health, MSO-PC structures, and RPM compliance. Its attorney roster maintains bar admissions across at least 11 U.S. jurisdictions (Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, Texas, Virginia, and the District of Columbia), enabling multi-state coverage for clients scaling nationally. The firm invests in a content and thought-leadership ecosystem, including regulatory explainers, benchmark tools, and a podcast, positioned as a distribution channel targeting digital health founders and investors.

The business model is a conventional professional services model: hourly and project-based fee arrangements for legal advisory and transactional work, served by a lean team of senior attorneys (approximately nine named professionals) with multi-state credentials. The firm is unfunded and operates as an independent, fully remote boutique, with no disclosed revenue, no outside investors, and no M&A activity. The firm previously operated as Nixon Gwilt Law and rebranded to Nixon Law Group (DBA: NLG) under its current identity.
