Health Care Industry & Professionals

Dunn Carney’s lawyers who practice in the health care industry bring with them creative thinking and years of practical industry experience covering the full range of issues associated with the representation of group and individual medical and dental providers, health care service contractors, medical staff groups, the Oregon Medical Association, and peer review organizations.  We assist our clients with the multidisciplinary experience we bring with us.  We provide advice on the wide range of areas those in the industry face from entity selection, organization and operation, to employment issues, antitrust matters, HIPAA compliance, Stark or kickback matters, peer review and licensing, mergers and acquisitions, taxation and benefits, real estate, intellectual property protection, professional liability and insurance coverage.

We provide advice and, when necessary, litigate in all of these areas.  We have an extensive experience drafting and litigating non-compete arrangements in the health care context.

Dunn Carney lawyers headed up the last major revision to Oregon’s Professional Corporation Act, drafting the legislation and ushering it through the legislative process with the various professional associations.

Always striving to keeping abreast of the rapid industry changes and reform movements, our lawyers have helped many physician groups restructure to obtain the benefits associated with larger practice groups through IPAs, or mergers and the benefits of limited liability partnerships.
