This compliance work includes helping clients establish and maintain effective compliance programs. Colin defends clients in disputes alleging kickbacks, overpayments, and billing and coding problems, and represents before various state health care licensing and regulatory entities.
Colin’s practice also includes work on health care transactional matters. These projects include the establishment of joint ventures, the establishment of new entities, drafting and negotiation of employment contracts, and negotiating clinical trial agreements.
