Providers of healthcare services operate in a more complex legal environment than virtually any other business and are subject to stringent criminal and civil sanctions for business practices that would often be legal in other industries. Montgomery McCracken's Health Law practice brings our clients the specialized knowledge and experience of attorneys with a wide range of expertise in the legal problems facing healthcare providers. What distinguishes our lawyers is the breadth of their industry experience, which puts them in a better position to give sound, relevant counsel. Our attorneys, for example, have served as hospital general counsel and assistant US attorneys and one member of the Health Law Group has years of experience as a health care social worker.
Our services include structuring business arrangements to achieve client goals while avoiding potential regulatory pitfalls, resolving problems with governmental agencies, assisting clients with corporate compliance programs and litigating reimbursement, staff privileges, antitrust, professional liability, and licensure disputes. We also provide counseling on a number of technical legal areas such as employee relations, immigration, environmental law and taxation or nonprofit entities. An in-depth knowledge of the healthcare industry enables us to consider the ramifications of a client's problem within the larger context of seemingly unrelated laws and regulations affecting healthcare providers.
Whether we have been engaged to advise a nonprofit organization seeking new ways to fulfill its charitable mission or a for-profit enterprise seeking to enhance its investors' return, the breadth of our experience and the diversity of our lawyers' skills have enabled us to advise our clients effectively and efficiently.
