General Counsel West, PC provides strategic legal advice for healthcare companies, through five capability areas.

For emerging and fast-growing healthcare companies
Broad-based counsel tailored to help you grow
We become a team member and a partner
We invest in understanding your business and industry
We help guide you at all stages of your company’s life cycle from formation through growth, maturity and even exit
When your company requires full-time legal support, we can help you plan the structure and obtain the resources that are optimal for your situation

If you are in acquisition mode, we can help you through the process
We have expertise in helping clients navigate and resolve regulatory issues in healthcare transactions
One of our core competencies is leading companies through legal due diligence and the coordination of the legal aspects of transactions from start to finish
For small to medium-sized acquisitions, we offer an alternative when a larger law firm may lead to overkill
For very large transactions, we partner with you and outside counsel to get the best overall results

We have unique and unparalleled expertise in negotiating fee-for-service, shared savings, and capitated payor contracts on behalf of individual providers, independent physician associations, medical groups, physician hospital organizations, and management services organizations
As both legal advisors and business partners, we help assess and maximize your leverage in negotiating contract language to protect your current and future business interests.
To date, we have advised providers on health plan contracts worth in excess of $5 billion

More critical than ever to develop and maintain an effective regulatory compliance program
We have guided our clients at every stage of Compliance Program implementation, from creating new programs to ensuring that existing programs meet all requirements
We also assist with compliance training and ongoing compliance counseling
Our compliance experts have vast experience handling compliance matters involving revenue cycle compliance issues (e.g., billing and coding, government audits) as well as privacy compliance issues

Extra capacity for general counsels who have too much to do in too little time (which describes every general counsel we have ever met who works in the healthcare space)
Having been in-house, we think like GCs and can provide support on a wide-range of legal projects, including leading or participating on cross-functional teams and/or managing outside counsel
We help get work done while simultaneously putting processes in place to make future projects more efficient
