As healthcare organizations handle increasing amounts of digital data, keeping that information private and secure has become a core part of operations. Federal and state laws—particularly HIPAA and its related rules—set strict requirements for how patient information is managed, shared, and protected. Failing to comply can lead to serious consequences, including regulatory scrutiny, financial penalties, and reputational damage.

Our Health Law team provides clear, practical advice on compliance, risk management, breach response, and privacy policies. We work with hospitals, health insurers, digital health companies, and vendors to ensure their practices meet current regulatory standards.
