Career
Health Care Transactions
I also advise health care providers on joint ventures, mergers and acquisitions and contractual arrangements. As a former in-house counsel at a hospital, my uniquely holistic perspective helps me guide health care clients juggling day-to-day operational issues and new business ventures.
Accountable Care and Alternative Delivery Systems
With the Accountable Care movement in full effect, it’s more important than ever for providers to participate in alternative delivery systems that drive efficiencies and contain costs. I advise my clients from the initial analysis of their existing models through the formation and implementation of new operational models, such as value-based contracting, ACOs, bundled payments and medical homes.
Fraud & Abuse and New York State Regulatory
By identifying transaction structures most likely to attract attention from state and federal regulatory agencies, I help my clients address the underlying licensure, fraud and abuse and other issues that often stand in the way in New York. Local and out-of-state clients involved in health care M&A turn to me to navigate the New York regulatory environment and minimize the risk of regulatory challenges.
