Certificate of Need and Licensing
We can assist new, expanding or relocating health care facilities or services in getting a certificate of need (CON). Once the CON is obtained, we can assist with adherence to licensure standards, including the life safety code, so you are able to procure the license necessary to establish a practice.
Transactional Health Care
We can assist with clinic acquisitions. Our law firm has handled consolidation, alignments and alliances between hospitals, physicians and other facilities. We have handled a significant amount of clinical integration and understand the complexity of transactional issues for health care businesses. Not only do these matters have health care law aspects, they also overflow into business and corporate law, tax law, employment law and even real estate law. Because we are a full-service law firm, we can handle all aspects of even the most complicated transactions.
Employment Contracts for Medical Professionals
Employment contracts for health care professionals are significantly different from those for CEOs and other professionals. We can address the various requirements of these contracts, as well as unique issues related to bonus structures, limiting call coverage, input into hiring and firing of personnel and more.
