Healthcare counsel in practice
The moments this firm is built for.
The survey team just left, and the exit conference was worse than expected. A resident’s family is demanding records, and no one is sure what can be released. A discharge has stalled because nobody holds authority to sign. A payer has recouped months of claims. A vendor contract quietly renewed on terms nobody re-read. A power-of-attorney question is holding up placement — or payment.
These are the calls this firm was built to take.

Legal support organized around how providers actually operate
The practice is not defined by one matter type. It connects the legal work that appears across contracts, clinical operations, regulation, payment, information, governance, and complex care.
01
Regulatory & facility counsel
Legal guidance built for the operating environment
Survey and deficiency-response posture, AHCA licensure and change-of-ownership support, admission and resident-rights documents, incident legal-risk review, and practical access for facility leaders.
02
Contracts & arrangements
The paper behind revenue, risk, and relationships
Vendor, therapy, medical-director, physician-service, payer, employment, associate, and other operational agreements—reviewed in the context of how the business actually runs.
03
Records, privacy & response
Clear direction when information carries exposure
Records requests, subpoenas, HIPAA and release questions, preservation, regulator document requests, and related information-governance concerns.
04
Governance, people & growth
Counsel for decisions that reshape the organization
Entity and governance questions, employment-risk issue spotting, physician and advanced-practice arrangements, payer terms, LOIs, and transaction support with qualified counsel when needed.
05
Legal authority & complex care
One capability within a broader healthcare practice
POA, surrogate and proxy analysis, no-decision-maker matters, Medicaid and long-term-care authority barriers, exploitation-response counseling, and petitioner-side guardianship when appropriate.
06
Receivables, estates & recovery
Legal support where care and payment obligations meet
Collections, deceased-resident and estate-recovery matters, resident property and funds issues, and related documentation or authority questions.
Scope depends on the client, facts, conflicts, and written engagement. Formal opinions, litigation, valuation, tax, coding, or other work may require separately engaged counsel or professionals.
Healthcare counsel · Operational perspective
Legal judgment with an operator’s line of sight
Malcolm Freeman practiced healthcare before he practiced law: more than a decade in skilled nursing facilities as a therapist, a rehab director, and a licensed administrator. The firm exists because most healthcare legal questions arrive tangled in operations — and counsel moves faster when the operational half is already understood.
