Leading Business & Legal Counsel for Health Care Organizations in Massachusetts
One of the key differentiators for our Massachusetts-based health care team is our strategic business focus. The relationships we have with our clients go beyond their in-house legal teams. We often work with CEOs, senior executive management, board members and other key stakeholders on high-impact, high-value issues for hospitals, cancer treatment centers and health care corporations, becoming true business advisers to our clients. Our representation in Massachusetts includes both public and private entities. Most notable is our representation of safety-net and public facilities. These institutions face the same complex issues faced by all health care facilities, as well as serving higher populations of the indigent and under- and uninsured. This requires our team to be creative, working closely with our clients to uncover funding opportunities in order to improve operational efficiency, to keep care for the indigent on the public policy agenda, and to pursue and obtain support for their critically important mission.
Our team is a leader in telemedicine and health care transactional work, with deep experience assisting major clients in multi-million-dollar acquisitions and mergers throughout the nation. We have helped hospitals, health systems, and other organizations in these telehealth and M&A matters. We are seen as the “go-to” firm to assist these organizations in these matters.
