As the healthcare sector continues to evolve in the current economy, so do the corresponding risks to healthcare providers, hospitals, nursing homes, and managed care organizations. Healthcare risks are influenced by the fast-paced changes in technology, data preservation, regulation and financial markets, and Insurers and Reinsurers rely more than ever on knowledgeable legal counsel to help navigate such exposures, whether they arise from medical malpractice, hospital and hospice care, managed care and healthcare management liability issues, or emerging cyber liability risks.
