Just as patients select physicians for their expertise in a particular
specialty, so too should health care providers select their attorneys
based upon their expertise in handling the inordinately complex
issues that affect the medical profession. Some of the region's
most prominent hospitals, nursing homes, HMOs, physician practice
groups, and individual providers rely upon our health care lawyers'
years of experience handling the variety of special issues that
uniquely affect the health care industry.
We counsel health care providers on forming, merging and acquiring
practice groups, labor and employment matters, tax laws, and complying
with federal and state statutory and regulatory requirements, including
the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
— all of which have unique rules that apply to the health care
industry and require attorneys with knowledge of the industry to
handle them.
We are a leading defender of hospitals and physicians in medical
malpractice lawsuits, and we use that same litigation experience
to represent health care professionals in professional disciplinary
matters. We have also successfully represented health care providers
in Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement litigation. Other recent
accomplishments include:
• Counseling physician practices through numerous mergers and
acquisitions.
• Successfully representing several major hospitals in significant
medical malpractice litigation.
• Counseling a major Central New York physician's practice
group through a complete restructuring of its ownership and management
organization.
• Successfully defending health care providers in wrongful
discharge and other related employment litigation.
