Named a Law360 “Rising Star” for health care in 2019, Margaux provides sophisticated regulatory and strategic business counsel to clients on matters involving innovative contracting arrangements; drug price reporting obligations under the Medicaid, Medicare, and the Public Health Service programs, as well as state drug price transparency laws; and vertical integrations and other transactions related to the pharmaceutical supply chain. She also provides sophisticated regulatory and business strategy advice to national and regional health insurers who manage prescription drug benefits in compliance with Medicare Advantage, Medicare Part D and Medicaid managed care program requirements.
Margaux’s deep knowledge of the pharmaceutical supply chain also is invaluable in major transactions involving vertical integrations in, or other fundamental changes to, the supply chain.

Margaux has dedicated her career to understanding health care in the U.S. and worldwide; after graduating from Harvard Law School, she pursued a Fulbright Fellowship to research health care law and health system reform in South Africa and then led similar research programs at the World Bank. Margaux also completed a post-graduate fellowship focusing on health law through Columbia Law School.
Margaux also has developed a robust practice with pro bono clients in the health care arena. As part of this, she has long represented Capital Clubhouse, a nonprofit organization serving people living with mental illness, during its creation of a community health center.
