Healthcare Law

Healthcare is a highly regulated industry with complex laws. As a former healthcare fraud and abuse trial lawyer and the Chief Legal Officer of a healthcare management company, attorney Venus Caruso has comprehensive experience and deep industry knowledge of the legal issues that impact healthcare transactions, business relationships, company processes, and contracts entered with employees, clients, customers, affiliates, suppliers, and vendors. She provides legal advice and assistance to health care organizations, health care professionals, and other entities and individuals in the healthcare sector, whether they are a covered entity, business associate, or a downstream vendor of a business associate.

 

The type of work Venus can help you with ranges from drafting and negotiating contracts, advising on day-to-day or specific compliance questions, evaluating policies and procedures, counseling on privacy and data security questions or issues of concern, and recommending solutions to mitigate risk. She works collaboratively with her clients to understand the nature of their business, who they serve, the laws that govern their business services and operations, and their business goals. This approach is instrumental to identify gaps or potentially problematic areas, address issues of concern, and to provide recommendations to achieve her client's objectives and mitigate legal risks.
