Overview
At Burr & Forman, our capabilities include both business and trial needs for the health care industry, covering physician practices, hospitals, long-term care providers, surgery centers, and home health agencies, to medical device companies, pharmacies, and health care lenders. In such a complex and regulated environment, we practice preventative law by not only assisting clients with achieving their goals, but also avoiding unnecessary legal issues.
