Practice Highlights

Hospital-physician relationships

Helping hospital systems and physician groups work more closely and effectively, from the ordinary (a hospital's employing physicians) to the unusual (a hospital's acquiring majority ownership of a multispecialty medical group) and everything in between (joint ventures, co-management agreements, professional services agreements, bundled payment programs, etc.).

New healthcare services

Bringing new treatment modalities to hospitals and physician practices through collaborations with providers of equipment and support services for stereotactic radiosurgery, in-office radiation therapy, intraoperative neuromonitoring, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

Corporate practice of medicine

Navigating the perilous waters of the corporate practice of medicine doctrine to help nonprofit and for-profit entities employ, directly or indirectly, physicians, veterinarians, and other licensed healthcare providers without violating state law.
