Butler Snow’s Labor and Employment team has decades of experience in assisting employers in many industries in preventing the causes of unionization and successfully resisting union organizing. As unions have declined over the past three decades, the actual experience of most law firms in this practice area has diminished. However, our team includes attorneys with substantial recent experience in combating a variety of unions that have been particularly active.
Our attorneys deal with a wide array of issues affecting the formation and operation of healthcare providers, including fraud and abuse and self-referral matters, licensing, accreditation and certificate of need, HIPAA and corporate compliance, and contracting with government and private payers. Our expertise includes advice on joint venture and other transactions involving a variety of providers, as well as ongoing operational issues such as medical staff matters, EMTALA transfers, and physician recruiting and contracting issues.
