ILEANA HERNANDEZ
Partner
Manatt, Phelps & Phillips LLP
Leader of Manatt’s Health Care Litigation practice, Ileana Hernandez is the go-to adviser for health insurance and managed care organizations facing the gamut of complex litigation issues. While many litigators settle cases before they make it to a courtroom, Ileana is a true trial lawyer known for guiding clients through every stage of litigation – from pre-litigation counseling through trial and appeal – and she represents clients in state and federal courts, mediations, arbitrations and administrative hearings.
Hernandez’s recent representations include successfully defending Health Net from a lawsuit seeking an eight-figure award in damages. She also co-led the Manatt team representing Blue Shield in a wrongful death lawsuit. She and her team filed a motion for summary judgment on the basis that the plaintiffs were not entitled to recover in this case because the decedent and his family lied about employment status and falsified documents to fraudulently obtain coverage.
