Episode 85 – Drug Pricing: How The Demise of Chevron Deference and Other Litigation May Impact the Pharmaceutical Industry

Recent Supreme Court decisions, such as the opinions in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo and Relentless v. Department of Commerce that overruled the long-standing Chevron doctrine, will likely impact how federal agencies interpret ambiguous statutes when regulating the pharmaceutical industry. And in Securities & Exchange Commission v. Jarkesy, the Court established a right to a jury trial for defendants facing civil monetary penalties in agency enforcement actions, which may affect how industry stakeholders respond to enforcement actions. In addition to these cases, which are not specifically focused on the pharmaceutical industry, ongoing manufacturer challenges to the Inflation Reduction Act's negotiation provisions and to state 340B contract pharmacy laws will likely have a significant impact on the pharmaceutical industry. In this episode of Connected with Latham, Washington, D.C. partner Chris Schott and associate Danny Machado review recent and ongoing cases and explore how they could affect the pharmaceutical industry. Also tune in to the Latham webcast "The Demise of Chevron Deference and Its Impact on the Healthcare and Life Sciences Industries" for a deep dive into Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo and Relentless Inc. v. Department of Commerce.    This podcast is provided as a service of Latham & Watkins LLP.
