Career

Will Vail is passionate about helping clients in the home-based care business, including non-medical home care, home health and hospice providers, realize their full potential. He provides legal advice they can use, allowing them to focus on the frail and vulnerable patients and clients they serve.

Will’s experience in private practice and as an in-house attorney gives him a broad perspective that directly benefits his clients. For nearly seven years, he was lead employment counsel for two separate divisions of the largest post-acute health care provider in the nation, one division that focused on home health, hospice and home care and another that focused on nursing homes and rehabilitation centers. He later was lead employment and litigation counsel for the largest home health and hospice provider in the nation following a corporate reorganization.

In addition to various employment law issues, Will is familiar with False Claims Act, professional liability and general liability matters related to healthcare operations. He also has a robust practice navigating home care clients through licensure issues.

Will is an experienced litigator who has been in courtrooms across the United States. He also regularly provides advice and counsel to legal and nonlegal stakeholders, performs due diligence related to mergers and acquisitions, helps start-ups begin operations in a compliant method, wind-down operations (particularly skilled nursing facilities), train managers and assist in integrating new entities into going concerns.

Will began his legal career as a law clerk for a federal judge sitting in the Western District of Virginia.
