John J.P. Howley has more than 30 years of experience representing clients in complex healthcare litigation. He is dedicated to protecting the rights of physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals in employment disputes and as whistleblowers seeking financial rewards and legal protections.
Mr. Howley spent the first 20 years of his practice at a large law firm representing major pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies in their most complex patent, antitrust and product liability litigation. His training included working on litigation involving anti-hypertensives, statins, Cox-2 inhibitors, and monoclonal antibodies.

Mr. Howley now uses that experience to protect the rights of physicians, nurses and other healthcare professionals in employment disputes, including breach of contract, wrongful termination, hostile work environment, and retaliation cases.
He also represents healthcare professionals as whistleblowers to protect the health and safety of patients, prevent fraud, waste and abuse, and obtain whistleblower rewards and protections.

During law school, he served as an intern to U.S. District Judges Kevin Thomas Duffy and Shira A. Scheindlin. Upon graduation, he served as a law clerk to U.S. Circuit Judge Roger J.
