Healthcare Law

John D. Fanburg, Chair
In today’s complex and ever-changing healthcare environment, institutional and individual providers and healthcare businesses need trusted advisors who can help them negotiate the myriad legal and business issues that arise in the course of practicing medicine and operating health-related businesses.
Brach Eichler pioneered the discipline of health law in New Jersey and has developed – and continues to cultivate – its reputation as a leader in health law representation.
Our deep bench of health law attorneys – 20 strong – represents individuals and entities from every corner of the healthcare industry, encompassing both for profit and non-profit entities. Our clients range from individual practitioners to large physician and dental groups, from hospitals and hospital systems to medical staff organizations, from physician specialty societies to healthcare trade associations, from long-term care facilities to home health and hospice agencies, and from substance use disorder treatment providers to other provider types and patients. Our attorneys also have significant experience with matters and regulations affecting ambulatory surgical centers, other outpatient facilities, and their owners.
Knowledgeable across a wide spectrum of issues, our attorneys deftly handle an array of healthcare business, transactional, licensure, compliance, white collar criminal, and litigation matters.
We are actively involved in all developments affecting healthcare industry participants, and have strong relationships with public officials on both the state and national level. As such, we are able to effectively advocate on behalf of individual practitioners and healthcare facilities.
And as we help our clients adapt and respond to new economic and regulatory challenges, we tap and smoothly integrate other members of the Brach Eichler team in the areas of corporate tax, labor and employment, financial services, litigation, and real estate, among others.
The leading attorney ranking company, Chambers USA, cites clients who applaud Brach Eichler’s health law practice for its “responsiveness and position as a leader in the field of healthcare… They provide an outstanding quality of service at an excellent price. They understand their clients, and if there is a job that needs doing they can be counted on to do it right.”
