Health - General Counsel
We serve as general outside counsel for numerous hospitals, health systems, nursing homes and other health care institutional providers, including not-for-profit health systems (both Catholic, other faith-based and community health systems) and proprietary hospital and health care systems. We provide general counsel services on both a full-scale and selective-issues basis, for health care providers across the United States.
Founded in 1983, our Health Department has unmatched experience with the myriad of issues faced by hospitals, nursing homes, home health agencies and other health care providers. We are well equipped to supplement a health care organization’s inside general counsel function by providing accurate and timely legal advice for issues such as:
- Medical staff bylaws and credentialling matters
- Professional services and employment agreements with physicians
- Medicare reimbursement issues
- Management services arrangements
- Fraud and abuse
- Stark Law
- HIPAA
- Corporate structure and governance issues
- Licensing and regulatory issues
- Collective bargaining matters
- Responses to governmental investigations
- Antitrust issues
- Technology licensing matters
- Employee benefits and executive compensation arrangements
- Structuring and closing real estate transactions
- Joint ventures (with physicians or others)
- Asset purchases and other significant transactions
- Tax-exempt bond financings
Our General Counsel Practice also draws upon the experience and skills of our Tax, Employee Benefits, Trial, Intellectual Property, Labor and other practice groups.
