Services

Nossaman's healthcare attorneys provide a full spectrum of specialized legal services required by the healthcare sector. Our attorneys have diverse backgrounds and so contribute diverse expertise in working with our clients, both to advance their business objectives and also to craft and pursue optimal resolutions to their challenges and problems.

We practice in the regulatory, transactional, legislative and litigation arenas, and tap colleagues from other Nossaman practice groups to provide comprehensive, timely and efficient counsel and representation to our healthcare clients. We are unique in that we have professional competency and a proven track record in representing healthcare clients before all three branches of government. Our healthcare clients receive seamless service for their legal and business needs.

Our preeminence in healthcare law began with the landmark efforts of the firm's senior healthcare lawyers, including our partner and former State Assemblyman John T. Knox, co-authored of the Knox-Keene Health Care Service Plan Act of 1975 and the Moscone-Knox Professional Corporation Act.

Nossaman’s healthcare clients include hospitals and hospital and other delivery systems, managed care organizations, research organizations, surgicenters, discount plans as well as practice entities and individual professionals.

Our attorneys manage important legal challenges stemming from regulations and actions by federal and state authorities, mergers and acquisitions, intellectual property licensing and other transactions, and formation of organizations, partnerships and other practice structures.
