Advanced Practice Providers
Our team of healthcare attorneys is aware of the issues encountered by advanced practitioners (APs) in both the clinical and business settings, particularly with some of our team members having prior clinical experience in nursing. We also represent and advocate on behalf of APs on issues related to corporate entity structure, prospective joint ventures with other healthcare professionals, and malpractice defense. Specifically, we are experienced in providing legal services for Certified Nurse Midwives (CNMs), Certified Nurse Practitioners (CNP), Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs), Clinical Nurse Specialists (CNSs), and Physician Assistants (PAs) to advise them on issues affecting their scope of practice and how this affects business relationships with physicians and physician practices.
