Health Law

Health care is one of our nation’s most heavily regulated and volatile industries. Hinman, Howard & Kattell’s Health Law practice group actively monitors changes in the law and is able to navigate complex regulatory requirements as they emerge. In addition to keeping abreast of current trends in the field, HH&K’s attorneys possess a sound understanding of how health care is rendered, and the operational and structural issues affecting providers and payers.

In addition to those attorneys who devote their practice solely to health law, Hinman, Howard & Kattell’s Health Law practice group is supplemented by experienced attorneys in the firm’s business and corporate, litigation, labor and employment, tax, real estate, and intellectual property practice groups.
