HEALTH LAW

Legal guidance for
healthcare providers

Starting a healthcare business presents unique legal, business, regulatory, and operational issues. While your skills and experiences as an accomplished healthcare practitioner uniquely qualify you to take this entrepreneurial step, you may not have the equivalent business acumen to choose the correct business structure, establish tax strategies, or navigate the purchase or sale of a healthcare business. Once established, in addition to managing patient care, you must adhere to HIPAA laws, track corporate compliance issues, create employment agreements, and be knowledgeable of the 36-month rule, Stark Law requirements, and anti-kickback scenarios. Lavelle Law is one of the few law firms with a specific Health Law practice group. Just as you work with your patients to protect and strengthen their physical well-being, our health law attorneys work with you to provide the expertise to get your business off to a healthy start and protect its long-term viability.
