I am often asked to explain what Health Law--also known as Healthcare Law--means. Health Law can encompass a wide variety of matters, but as it relates to our practice, Health Law involves representing healthcare providers in their business transactions, commercial litigation, or regulatory matters.
Still confused? Think of it this way. Healthcare providers--whether a doctor or a hospital--have all the typical legal needs of any business. They have to have a lease with their landlord or an employment agreement with their staff. But healthcare providers are subject to certain federal and state laws and regulations that apply only to healthcare providers. Even a sublease agreement between two doctors, if not done right, can result in a criminal violation.
With our knowledge of healthcare law, we can help healthcare providers comply with the myriad of regulations that apply to them.
