Bergen County Healthcare Lawyer

I know the challenges of working with large law firms that have limited capacity for personalized, one-on-one legal guidance. Your legal partner should fully understand your goals for your medical practice and the legal obstacles that could prevent you from achieving them.

Through my boutique legal services, you benefit from a highly individualized approach. I typically support medical professionals in Bergen County across the following main practice areas, but I also have experience across a range of other healthcare-related legal matters and can adjust my services as needed.

Employment Law

I provide legal guidance for both employees and employers in the healthcare space who need assistance navigating transitions under state and federal employment laws. My services include but are not limited to:

• Drafting comprehensive employment agreements
• Negotiating contracts that protect clients’ interests
• Reviewing employment and independent contractor agreements
• Navigating separation and termination from group practices and hospitals

Before hiring or terminating employees, or moving to a different practice, consult Empower Healthcare & Legal Solutions PLLC to ensure compliance with contractual and legal requirements.

Practice Ownership and Healthcare Transactions

I guide Bergen County practice owners through practice formation and business transactions while helping them stay in control of their practices’ success. My services extend to all of the following matters:

• Practice formation, including choosing the right business entity, drafting operating agreements, and obtaining applicable licenses
• Drafting and reviewing shareholder/operating agreements
• Practice mergers and acquisitions
• Corporate Practice of Medicine laws, the Stark Law, the Anti-Kickback Statute, and related legal frameworks

Through my personalized legal services, you can mitigate legal and financial risks as you grow your practice or transition operations.

Regulatory Compliance

Many providers are concerned about penalties for noncompliance. As a healthcare compliance attorney in Bergen County, NJ, I provide regulatory counsel to help clients practice confidently amid restrictive compliance guidelines.

I am well versed in all of the following frameworks:

• Fraud, waste, and abuse laws
• HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules
• Telehealth regulations
• The No Surprises Act
• Cybersecurity procedures

Contract Review

Any contractual agreements within your practice should reflect your interests and carefully adhere to applicable legal guidelines. I assist clients in drafting, reviewing, and modifying a wide range of agreements, such as:

• Billing agreements
• Affiliation/referral agreements
• Employment and independent contractor agreements
• Vendor and service agreements
• Healthcare joint venture agreements

At Empower Healthcare & Legal Solutions PLLC, my goal is to empower you to maintain greater control over your career without feeling burdened by strict, confusing regulatory guidelines. By engaging my services, you can focus on delivering high-quality patient care while I handle the legal and regulatory aspects of your operations.
