She represents healthcare providers, ancillary service providers, digital health providers, licensed agencies, nonprofits, management services organizations, payors and other industry-based clients of all sizes. As a trusted adviser to her clients, Jennifer applies her strategic, operations and compliance experience to support her clients globally with risk management assessments and counseling. She has deep experience providing federal and state healthcare guidance, including on anti-kickback and Stark laws, corporate practice of medicine and fee-splitting prohibitions, scope of practice rules, surprise or balance-billing laws, and price transparency rules. She routinely advises clients on topics in health innovation, ranging from telehealth to concierge medicine.

Jennifer is a seasoned corporate attorney. Her transactional practice is focused on joint ventures, mergers and acquisitions, and other affiliation and collaboration transactions, as well as healthcare contracting matters (professional services, managed and value-based care, and other contracts). She also serves as outside general counsel to several healthcare clients.

Jennifer is passionate about inclusion and diversity issues and looks forward to working on similarly focused BCLP initiatives. She is also an active member of the American Health Lawyers Association, among other healthcare industry trade groups.
