Representative Clients and Matters

  • Faculty Practice Plan Physicians and Community Physician Organization - Dan crafted an organization structure within regulatory requirements between a faculty practice plan, community physicians, and a hospital system which aligned the financial interests and created a common governance structure among the parties.
  • Governance and Conflicts of Interest - Dan assisted a community hospital’s board of trustees to resolve a competitive conflict of interest between the hospital and physician members of the hospital’s board of trustees by crafting a series of principles satisfactory to the physician-trustees and the hospital.
