Healthcare Business & Corporate Counsel

Strategic legal counsel for healthcare companies, providers, and innovators building, growing, or transforming their operations.

OUR EXPERTISE

Counsel Built for Healthcare Innovators

We serve healthcare companies, providers, and innovators who need trusted legal counsel as they build, grow, or transform their operations. Our services span corporate structuring and governance, regulatory compliance, management services organizations (MSOs), provider practice formation, health and wellness ventures, and integrative medicine practices.

Whether you are launching a new healthcare business or navigating complex transactions, we provide the strategic legal foundation your organization needs to operate with confidence.

Our compensation model is structured specifically for innovative healthcare companies that need ongoing legal counsel but are not philosophically or financially positioned to hire in-house counsel or expensive outside law firms. We always have an open dialogue regarding fees so your company gets its legal needs met — with exceptional counsel at truly competitive prices that reflect an understanding of your company's position for future growth.

As former in-house counsel, we understand the need to maintain a fluid approach when developing and growing a business. We work as part of your team, contributing strategic insight and providing business value and legal services truly customized to your business. We remain sensitive to your company's unique financial situation and business stage by offering a variety of compensation arrangements. We offer flexible, business-minded legal counsel through flat fees, low hourly rates, and fixed monthly retainers — providing strategic support tailored to each company’s stage, goals, and growth.
