Alliant v. Premier, Inc. (3:25-cv-00719)

U.S. District Court, Western District of Kentucky · 14 documents

Litigation Watch

The open questions we're tracking across both dockets and the arbitration.

  • Can the Recruitment & Retention Policy be unilaterally replaced?

    Both OMNIA and Premier issued replacement policies in 2025 — whether they could is at the heart of the second lawsuit. Unresolved.

  • Does suing in court expose a sponsor to termination for cause?

    NHH and OMNIA's Answer asserts that by filing in court rather than arbitrating, Alliant materially breached its agreement. Unresolved.

  • Will the arbitration resolve before the lawsuits?

    The same settlement discussions cover both cases and the AAA arbitration among Alliant, NHH, and Premier LP. The August 17 report covers all three fronts.
