Healthcare
Healthcare, the U.S.’s largest industry, is heavily regulated, complex and ever-changing. From small, private physician practices to the largest, national health systems, all healthcare providers and suppliers must ensure that the structure of their delivery models and business relationships are compliant. Business structures that are standard or advisable in other industries may run afoul of various state and federal regulatory schemes. The stakes are high and navigating the healthcare landscape requires not only the ability to structure and execute complex business transactions, but also the ability to ensure those business transactions comply with various state and federal laws, including the Stark Law, Anti-Kickback Statute, and corporate practice of medicine prohibitions.
