Practice Areas

Colin Zick’s practice is focused on healthcare and compliance issues, and often involves the intersection of those two subjects in investigations, administrative proceedings, or litigation.

This compliance work includes helping clients establish and maintain effective compliance programs. Colin also defends clients in disputes alleging kickbacks, overpayments, and billing and coding problems, and represents clients before state healthcare licensing and regulatory entities.

Colin also frequently counsels healthcare, life science, technology and consumer-facing clients on issues involving information privacy and security (including HIPAA and other federal and state data privacy and security laws, EU/GDPR privacy and security issues, and data breach response). Colin co-founded the firm's Data Security and Privacy Practice Group and regularly contributes to its "Security, Privacy and the Law" blog.

Colin’s practice also includes work on healthcare transactional matters. These projects include mergers and acquisitions, the establishment of joint ventures, the creation of new entities, drafting and negotiation of management service and employment contracts, creation of patient assistance programs, and negotiating data use and clinical trial agreements. He also has successfully litigated commercial disputes, covenants not to compete, antitrust and unfair competition claims, and copyright infringement claims.
