With former in-house compliance professionals, we know that many outside consulting firms and self-styled compliance experts often employ a formulaic, one-size-fits all compliance framework. Absent from this framework in many cases is an informed, forward-looking legal strategy. Worse, legal counsel may be engaged only after an issue has developed into a major problem when the appropriate safeguards could’ve been incorporated from the start. Because we’ve seen how these scenarios play out, we know what tactics and remedial measures are apt to preempt them. We work with clients to ensure, both now and going forward, that their business objectives and legal strategy are fully integrated and sustainable at scale.

We draw on over a century of combined experience advising health systems, hospitals, physician practices and other care providers on all manner of regulatory matters. Our clients look to us for experienced judgement and compliance solutions grounded in a rigorous assessment of their distinct risk profile, business, and care delivery model(s). We put their goals front and center while bringing our deep understanding of health law to bear on the regulatory challenges they face on a routine basis.

Complacency can be the Achilles heel of even the most robust compliance program. That’s why we dig in, ask the right questions, and work with you at every step to keep your compliance program current and airtight. While we offer project-based solutions where needed, we also believe that sustainability is paramount to health care compliance, and our approach emphasizes strategies that can be readily adapted in response to institutional and regulatory change.
