DaVita Inc. and its former Chief Executive Officer were acquitted on all charges in the Department of Justice's first no-poach agreement prosecution. The case alleged a conspiracy to restrict competition in the market for dialysis-center employees.
The prosecution claimed that DaVita and its former CEO implemented 'no-poach' agreements, which allegedly prohibited companies from hiring each other's employees. The acquittal resolves a significant legal challenge that had been closely watched in the healthcare industry.
This favorable legal outcome removes a substantial regulatory and financial overhang for DaVita. The resolution mitigates potential financial penalties, reputational harm, and the diversion of operational resources that could have resulted from an adverse verdict.
