BETH P. WEINMAN is a member of Ropes & Gray’s life sciences regulatory and compliance practice group, and focuses her practice on FDA regulation and enforcement of laws governing pharmaceuticals, biologics, medical devices and foods, including dietary supplements. She represents clients in False Claims Act (FCA) and Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA) investigations, and other enforcement actions before state and federal regulators, and also represents clients in administrative litigation matters. Ms. Weinman also provides counseling on issues related to marketing practices, current good manufacturing practices, good clinical practices, compounding, medical product development and approval, and product recalls and withdrawals. Prior to joining Ropes & Gray, she spent nearly eight years as Associate Chief Counsel for Enforcement within FDA’s Office of Chief Counsel. In that role, she worked closely with FDA’s Office of Criminal Investigations, the Department of Justice and other government agencies to investigate and, when appropriate, prosecute alleged violations of the FDCA and related crimes under Title 18 (including, e.g., mail fraud, wire fraud, healthcare fraud, and conspiracies to defraud). She also worked on numerous parallel and independent FCA investigations involving FDA regulated drugs and devices, including biologics. Before starting at FDA, Ms. Weinman spent more than seven years as an associate in the litigation department of a large New York law firm, where, among other matters, she represented a number of pharmaceutical companies in government investigations and securities class action lawsuits.
