Healthcare

Issues in healthcare have become increasingly complex, touching on almost every area of the law and Baker Sterchi’s practice. Our attorneys bring a broad-based understanding of the legal, medical and financial issues underpinning multiple aspects of the industry. Individual practice teams bring fine-tuned skills to each type of matter.

With a wealth of knowledge about evidence-based medicine, our attorneys have successfully represented individual medical professionals and healthcare institutions in state and federal courts.
