Health Law
What We Do
At Smith Haughey, we understand that a “one-size-fits-all” approach does not work in the complex and ever-evolving healthcare industry. Our health law attorneys take the time to listen to and thoroughly comprehend our clients’ unique motivations, challenges, and goals, rather than simply applying a generic solution that has worked in the past.
This personalized and realistic approach to problem-solving is complemented by our extensive healthcare industry experience and depth of legal expertise. By working collaboratively with our clients, we can effectively address the full spectrum of business, regulatory, compliance, technology, and licensing issues faced by today’s healthcare providers.
Our teams’ combined knowledge provides clients with concrete advice and solutions in this highly regulated field of healthcare.
Areas of expertise include:
- Professional licensing defense
- Corporate compliance
- Medical staff considerations
- Electronic medical records
- Fraud and abuse
- Joint venture and new venture development
- Durable medical equipment
- Long term care issues
Our attorneys actively participate in industry associations, including the Michigan Health and Hospital Association, Michigan Medical Group Management Association, Healthcare Association of Michigan, Michigan State Bar Health Law Section and the American Health Lawyers Association.
In addition to helping clients fulfill their legal obligations and protect their businesses, we offer a range of alternative billing packages – from conventional hourly billing to concepts that provide budgetary certainty and continuous availability of legal consultation at highly competitive rates.
