Health & Hospital Law

Few fields are as highly regulated, closely monitored, financially and technologically complex and rapidly changing as the healthcare industry. Our attorneys, many of whom sit on healthcare boards of directors and audit committees, have broad experience in all aspects of health and hospital law, including administrative, civil and criminal matters.

We routinely counsel facilities such as hospitals, nursing homes, home health agencies and physician groups, helping them to resolve complex and diverse problems. We make every effort to achieve negotiated solutions to these conflicts; however should litigation arise we are well equipped to advocate tenaciously on behalf of our clients. We have particular experience with litigation involving white-collar criminal defense, including fraudulent Medicare claims investigations.

When appropriate, we team up with Saiber lawyers specializing in related practice areas, including antitrust, construction law, employment law and securities law. This enables us to provide a broad range of health law services, including:

• Structuring business relationships
• Liability and risk assessment
• Corporate and physician compliance programs
• Adverse licensure actions
• Compliance with federal and state regulations
• Patient privacy and HIPAA compliance
• Professional staff discipline
• Corporate finance
• Fraud and abuse investigations
• Guardianship and end-of-life decisions
• Employee hiring, discipline and termination
