Providing wide-ranging legal representation to healthcare providers and professionals

The Burns White Healthcare and Long-Term Care Practice Group assists healthcare providers in exploring methods to reduce the risk of exposure to future claims, finding ways to prevent stressful and costly litigation and, if necessary, with representation in the courtroom. We are also highly experienced at handling healthcare business transactions and relationships, while complying with regulatory standards and requirements.

Our attorneys have been at the forefront of long-term care legal issues for decades, managing hundreds of cases involving independent senior living, assisted living, home health, skilled nursing, and hospice care. We possess knowledge of the continuum of healthcare services from independent senior living to end-of-life care. In addition, we regularly represent hospitals, healthcare systems, other institutional providers of healthcare services, individual healthcare professionals and their practice groups, and consultants and ancillary service providers within the healthcare marketplace.

Burns White provides wide-ranging legal representation to healthcare professionals, including medical malpractice defense, institutional liability defense, healthcare regulatory consulting, employment law counseling and defense, and corporate governance consultation. With nine offices across five states, the firm can assist clients across Delaware, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.

We recognize that medical professionals treat their patients as individuals, requiring care plans tailored to meet their distinct needs. Burns White mirrors that philosophy by approaching each client as having individual legal needs deserving of personalized attention.
