Health care Providers and Facilities

LP&J provides comprehensive legal services for physicians, nurses, dentists and other health care providers, as well as operators of assisted living, nursing and residential care facilities.

LP&J attorneys defend physicians, nurses, mental health counselors, chiropractors, dentists and many other types of health care providers in professional negligence and malpractice actions. We represent a broad array of providers in federal and state agency enforcement actions, Department of Health disciplinary proceedings, and other regulatory matters.  Our attorneys have extensive experience representing providers throughout bench and jury trials, mediations and arbitrations, administrative hearings and depositions.   Based on this diverse and long-standing experience, we help our provider clients explore opportunities for reaching confidential and prompt resolution of actual and potential disputes and managing reporting requirements.   LP&J attorneys also provide advice to care providers regarding employment and management agreements and the formation, operation and termination of practice groups and professional corporate entities.  

LP&J attorneys also represent nursing homes, assisted living facilities, counseling centers, and Adult Family Homes in various governmental investigations, enforcement actions and other regulatory matters, including those involving the Department of Social and Health Services, the Department of Health, and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).  In addition to participating in active inquiries and enforcement, we advise facilities regarding best practices, contracts and policies in consideration of the panoply of federal, state and local laws and regulations affecting the provision of care and services.
