Mintz Levin Secures Acquittal for former TAP Pharma Sales Executive
7/1/2004
Mintz Levin attorneys successfully argued for acquittal of their client, Janice Swirski, formerly a national accounts manager with TAP Pharmaceuticals. The three-month trial in Boston's Federal District Court concluded earlier this week when Judge Woodlock sided with Mintz Levin attorney Tracy Miner who argued that the anti-kickback laws did not apply to her client.
"We are grateful that the judge in this case had the conviction to apply the law as it is written and to enter this judgment," said Ms. Miner, a member of the firm's Litigation Section.
Ms. Swirski was one of 11 defendants accused of conspiring to pay kickbacks or bribes to physicians in exchange for their exclusive use of the prostate cancer drug Lupron.
Assisting Ms. Miner in the case were Jay Tangney, Rosemary Allen, McKenzie Webster and Edmund Capodilupo.
