The Collier Firm has counseled and represented an array of healthcare organizations ranging from those practicing mainly in the primary care sector to hospitals, nursing homes, behavioral health, and substance abuse organizations, and long-term care facilities. Moreover, we have an area of our healthcare practice focused specifically on providing consulting and legal services to Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs).
We provide a broad range of services specific to each client’s needs, combining expertise in areas of consulting and legal representation to providers that ultimately creates an intimate client relationship facilitating client business growth and retention by helping them develop their leadership team, capitalize on financial opportunities, maintain compliance with statutory regulations, and minimize liabilities.
Consulting Services We Provide
Ultimately, our goal is to help our healthcare clients succeed. Our consulting services are designed to do just that by functioning as a sounding board to counsel clients in ways to help them strengthen their leadership and corporate culture, make the most of growth opportunities, and manage public image. Some of the consulting services we provide include:
Providing expertise in all aspects of business growth, leadership, and business development
Assisting the organization in working through and overcoming challenges, even crises
Conducting strategic planning and engaging in innovative brainstorming
Developing high-level growth strategies and business plans for the organization
Assisting in external and internal communications and in public and community relations and marketing
Connecting organizations to stakeholders for growth and opportunity
Providing support and guidance for large projects for acquisitions and new market expansion
Public speaking on behalf of organizations or assisting leaders in speech writing and delivery
Identifying, negotiating, and developing collaborations and partnerships with other organizations
Health Law Services We Provide
While we are a general consulting firm for healthcare providers, we function as legal counsel as well. The two roles work in conjunction with one another since growing business and overcoming everyday challenges for any healthcare organization almost always involve law at some level. The seamless transition between the two roles provides the client with access to the advice and tools they need to achieve organizational goals while avoiding unnecessary risk and liability.
For some of our healthcare clients, we function as their primary outside general counsel. For others, we function as part of a collaborative team working with the organization’s in-house counsel and other outside counsel on any given issue or assignment.
