Profile

Ima Nsien is a health care litigation associate in the Firm’s Los Angeles office. She works with California’s largest payers in their most sophisticated and complex litigation in state and federal courts. Ima has experience litigating a variety of matters, including breach of contract, high-stakes reimbursement disputes, unfair competition, bad faith denial of benefits, health maintenance organization negligence and Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) actions. Ima regularly drafts dispositive motions and manages large-scale discovery. Ima also assists health plans with licensure under the Knox-Keene Act.

Before joining Manatt, Ima was a health care litigation associate for a large national law firm in Los Angeles. There, she represented skilled nursing facilities and pharmaceutical entities in California Department of Health and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services enforcement actions and Department of Justice government investigations, and also advised and counseled health clients through Medicare/Medicaid reimbursement disputes and claim denial appeals. She has experience defending health care clients in complex business tort, trade secret, ERISA, breach of fiduciary duty, and contract litigation matters in both state and federal courts, and has participated in several pro bono projects through the National Health Law Program.

Ima has also served as a judicial law clerk for the Superior Court of California, Los Angeles County.
