The ACBA Board members and staff are currently focused on critical legal campaigns for member clinicians and their non-OEM Providers. For example, the ACBA has retained a law firm to analyze the contracts and policies of manufacturers of energy-based, medical aesthetic devices; identify the injuries that manufacturers are inflicting on medical practices and the businesses that serve them; and recommend specific legal actions that the ACBA and its members can undertake to recover for past injuries to their businesses and prevent future injuries.

Among the actions we will consider are 1) filing lawsuits by the ACBA in its own name to seek injunctions and other equitable relief to benefit the members of the ACBA; 2) supporting the legal efforts of individual medical practices or groups of practices, including potential class actions; 3) leading group negotiations with OEMs, where the ACBA will advocate for the medical aesthetic industry; and 4) coordinating with other attorneys and constituencies who might benefit from our analyses and support. Our attorneys will advise the ACBA of the most strategically valuable actions, and with the members’ financial support, implement them.
