• Assist with healthcare transactions, including merger and acquisition matters, by evaluating legal risks and supporting deal execution.
• Prepare motions, briefs, discovery materials, and other legal documents in support of active healthcare disputes.
• Maintain a practice consistent with an annual billable expectation of 1,850 hours, with eligible pro bono time counting toward that target.
