# Healthcare Associate Attorney
Texas Law Firm
## About the Firm
We are a healthcare law firm serving physicians, nurse practitioners, dentists, behavioral health providers, and the businesses that support them. We act as outside general counsel to growing practices — structuring them, keeping them compliant, handling the contracts and regulatory questions that come with expansion, and representing them when a matter requires it.

## The Role
You will work directly with practice owners on the legal questions that determine whether their business can operate, grow, and get paid. This is a client-facing role from the first week. You will own matters, not fragments of matters.
### Regulatory and Compliance
- Advise on the Anti-Kickback Statute, Stark Law, and state fee-splitting and referral restrictions
- Structure arrangements to fit within available safe harbors and exceptions
- Counsel on corporate practice of medicine restrictions and management services organization structures
- HIPAA compliance: policies, business associate agreements, breach analysis and response
- Telehealth: cross-state practice, prescribing, modality, and reimbursement requirements
- Scope-of-practice, supervision, and collaborative practice agreements for advanced practice providers
- Board licensing matters and professional licensure questions
### Transactional and Corporate
- Formation and restructuring of professional entities, including PLLCs and professional corporations
- Practice acquisitions, sales, and affiliations
- Provider employment and independent contractor agreements, including compensation models
- Payer contracting and credentialing
- Vendor, lease, and service agreements
- Trademark and brand protection for practice names, service lines, and provider brands
### Disputes and Proceedings
- Represent providers in board investigations, licensure actions, and administrative proceedings
- Handle payer audits, overpayment demands, and reimbursement disputes
- Pursue and defend contract disputes involving practices, partners, and vendors
- Manage matters through litigation where resolution requires it
### Client Counseling
- Serve as day-to-day contact for outside general counsel clients
- Translate regulatory requirements into decisions a business owner can act on
- Identify risk early and propose workable alternatives rather than only flagging problems
