Meet Carrie Nixon, Esq., the visionary Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Nixon Gwilt Law, a trailblazing law firm dedicated exclusively to healthcare innovation. With a passion for driving change and a deep expertise in healthcare law and policy, Carrie is a force to be reckoned with in the industry.
As a recognized expert in healthcare innovation and digital health, Carrie navigates the complex landscape of Remote Patient Monitoring, telehealth, predictive analytics, personalized medicine, and value-based delivery/reimbursement arrangements with ease. Whether she's advising on Value-Based Enterprises (VBEs), Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs), or Alternative Payment Models (APMs), Carrie brings a wealth of knowledge and strategic insight to every engagement.
Carrie's client base is as diverse as it is impressive. She represents digital health companies and healthcare startups, guiding them through the intricacies of regulatory compliance and business model strategy. She also works closely with healthcare provider entities, pharmacies, and post-acute care providers, helping them thrive in the rapidly evolving healthcare landscape.
In addition to her role at Nixon Gwilt Law, Carrie serves as Special Advisor to Empactful Capital, a Silicon Valley-based healthcare venture capital firm. Her entrepreneurial spirit shines through in her own ventures, as well—she's the founder of two successful companies and co-founder of a thriving non-profit public policy organization.
What sets Carrie apart is her comprehensive, integrated approach to serving clients. She combines her legal expertise with a deep understanding of public policy and business strategy, leveraging skills in strategic communication and negotiation to achieve optimal outcomes. In this era of healthcare reform and value-based delivery/reimbursement, Carrie's multifaceted approach is a game-changer for her clients.
Carrie's academic pedigree is equally impressive. She earned her J.D. from the prestigious University of Virginia School of Law before launching her legal career at Mintz Levin, an AmLaw 250 firm, where she practiced in the Health Law section. She later joined the DC office of Reed Smith, another AmLaw 250 firm, focusing on healthcare litigation. Prior to law school, Carrie honed her policy chops as Deputy Policy Director for a senior leader in the US House of Representatives.
A member of the Virginia Bar, Carrie lives in Northern Virginia with her husband, daughter, and beloved dog. When she's not revolutionizing healthcare law, you can find her advocating for her clients from every angle, leveraging legal frameworks, business acumen, and a vast network of expertise and influence to drive positive change.
