Job description

Healthcare Litigation Attorney

Boston law firm Krokidas & Bluestein LLP, a premier boutique firm, is seeking a Healthcare litigation attorney to join its thriving health and human services and litigation practices. The firm provides legal services to nonprofit, for-profit and public clients operating in the areas of health and human services, real estate development and finance, affordable housing, civil litigation, employment, nonprofit and education law.

Qualified candidates will have 3-10 years of litigation experience, with healthcare experience preferred, including experience with depositions, brief writing, internal investigations, and subpoena responses. In addition to top academic credentials, the successful candidate will have the ability to (i) communicate effectively with clients and provide clear, concise written legal analysis; (ii) develop a strong understanding of our clients’ business operations, objectives and strategic goals; (iii) provide creative, practical and actionable legal advice, and (iv) work collaboratively with other team members, including colleagues who specialize in federal and state investigations, licensing and certification and health care business transactions. Massachusetts bar membership or the ability to waive in is required.

The attorney will have the opportunity to engage with our sophisticated clients spanning the full continuum of care, from major health systems (including academic medical centers, specialty hospitals, and physician networks) to federally qualified health centers, post-acute and home-based providers, behavioral health and disability service organizations, and senior living providers (including life plan and assisted living communities). Many of our clients are established leaders in their sector while others are entrepreneurs reshaping it.

Areas of practice will include:(1) litigation in state and federal courts, as well as mediation and arbitration of disputes; (2) administrative litigation, including rate and audit appeals, license revocation proceedings, sanctions appeals and representation of licensed professionals before licensing boards; (3) state and federal government investigations, including DOJ, AGO, CMS, and OIG matters; and (4) providing advice to clients on a range of regulatory and compliance issues. In addition, the firm acts as outside general counsel for many of its clients and provides advice and assistance on incident response, risk management and a host of other practical issues.

The compensation range for this position, which will be determined based on a candidate’s relevant experience and productivity, is $120,000 to $225,000.

As a firm, we value collegiality and diversity among our lawyers and seek to make our practice both professionally and personally rewarding. Our attorneys are currently working on a hybrid schedule.
