Health Care
Lewis Thomason has extensive experience in providing services to the health care industry. Our attorneys help our health care clients tackle various issues from litigation, to business formation, to information privacy issues. With decades of representing clients in the health care industry, Lewis Thomason’s attorneys are uniquely equipped to handle the challenges faced by our health care clients.
When it comes to litigation, our attorneys represent health care providers in medical malpractice and health care liability actions from pre-suit investigation through trial and appeal. With the firm’s tradition of representing physicians, physician groups, nurses, advanced practice providers, long-term care facilities, and other health care providers in professional liability litigation, we understand the importance of loss prevention and risk mitigation in the health care industry.
We understand that the health care industry is more than just providing health care. It also involves business development, employment issues, licensing issues, and complex regulatory issues. Our experienced attorneys assist medical practices and providers with forming business associations, contract negotiations, employment disputes, and business tax issues. We help health care providers with the professional licensing process and professional licensing issues. We provide comprehensive legal counsel on complex and evolving privacy and security regulations, including the detailed requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). With the proliferation of telemedicine as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, Lewis Thomason helps clients navigate complex layers of federal and state law, including privacy protection laws, compliance, and accompanying regulations.
By understanding the importance of risk mitigation in the health care industry, we can counsel clients on complex privacy issues and risk management to help prevent loss. Our labor and employment practice group can help you with employment issues that inevitably arise within your health care practice. We represent clients in a range of matters from employment litigation to day-to-day employment issues to workers’ compensation matters.
