Bringing more than three decades of experience to her national practice, Evan Goldfarb counsels health care organizations on a wide array of regulatory and transactional health care issues and helps them craft strategies to address legal issues while also achieving their business objectives.

Deeply trusted by her clients, Evan advises health systems, hospitals, long-term care facilities, health plans, physician groups, and other health care industry participants in minimizing risk and smoothly navigating the challenges posed by a complex business and regulatory landscape. She also assists them in planning, negotiating, and closing transactions, including mergers and acquisitions, contractual and equity joint ventures, physician employment agreements, and hospital-based physician independent contractor agreements.

Evan works to ensure that her clients stay compliant with the complex maze of state and federal laws that govern their transactions, their relationships with physicians, their billing activities and other daily operations. These include the Stark and Antikickback Laws, HIPAA, Medicare/Medicaid reimbursement, and licensure laws.

Taking a practical, responsive and detail-oriented approach, Evan provides succinct and actionable counsel that’s precisely tailored to client needs and takes into consideration the budgetary challenges and other pressures clients face. While always working in tandem with clients, she draws on her extensive experience and deep knowledge in advising them on how to pursue opportunities, manage risk, and make the best decisions to advance their interests.
