Our Practice Areas
We provide a myriad of legal services for our healthcare industry partners. These services include:

  • Corporate governance and compliance. Governance at healthcare facilities is under close and critical observation, and compliance with federal laws, state laws, regulations, and mandates is critical. These regulations pertain to a number of different governance issues, including the fiduciary obligations of board members. Our lawyers are knowledgeable in corporate governance and compliance issues, and can assist your healthcare facility in reaching and maintaining compliance.
  • Employment and labor. Healthcare facilities are bound to many of the same rules related to employment and labor, including both state and federal regulations regarding discrimination, hours and wages, leave, workers’ compensation, and more. Our lawyers are skilled employment attorneys with training and experience that is specific to healthcare facilities and organizations/businesses like yours.
  • Fraud and abuse compliance. There are federal fraud and abuse laws in place that apply to physicians and certain healthcare providers and facilities. For example, the False Claims Act prohibits physicians from submitting claims for payment to Medicaid or Medicare that are fraudulent, and the Anti-Kickback Statute makes paying for referrals a crime for those in federal healthcare programs. Our law firm will guide you through any and all fraud and abuse compliance laws that apply to your industry and ensure that you are in compliance.
  • Privacy, Security, and HIPAA. Patients have a right to privacy. To be sure, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) regulations require confidential handling of all patient health information, as well as mandates industry-wide standards for electronic billing and other healthcare-related processes. A breach of HIPAA or other privacy and security regulations could have major consequences for your healthcare practice or facility.
  • Investigations and litigation. If your healthcare practice/facility is facing any sort of investigation, or if you have been named in litigation, our law firm can provide trusted, reputable attorney advice and defense. An investigation or litigation could be very costly – our lawyers will aggressively protect your best interests and advise you of all options and best steps to take moving forward.
  • Management and organization. When organizational-level policies, procedures, and management changes need to be made, having an attorney’s advice can be a critical piece of ensuring that changes are made legally, ethically, and effectively.
  • Real estate and construction. As healthcare facilities expand, real estate and construction changes may be part of growth. Our law firm features skilled real estate attorneys who are able to help your healthcare practice acquire or sell real estate to meet its needs. We can also represent you in any new construction ventures as well.
