Description:

Want to work on challenging and innovative legal issues that require strategic and creative thinking, for a law firm that cares about improving health care delivery, privacy, security, and technology? You'll be responsible for negotiating and drafting information technology and healthcare agreements, advising clients on current privacy and security frameworks and requirements as well as data use and data sharing across multiple jurisdictions, and advising clients on healthcare laws that impact provider contracting and healthcare services. You'll have the opportunity to expand your knowledge and work on cutting-edge legal issues that impact people in their daily lives. You must be admitted to the Florida Bar; have 1+ years of transactional, regulatory, and technology legal experience; and have previous law firm experience.

What We're Looking For*:
At A Healthcare, Information Technology and Intellectual Property Attorney we hire talented people based on their accomplishments, intellectual curiosity, and a strong alignment with our core values. We're looking for someone who has a strong desire and demonstrated capability to work on complex healthcare technology and data privacy and security legal matters, in a regulatory environment that is changing daily. If you don't enjoy reading healthcare regulations, get anxious at the thought of having to make sense of the privacy laws of multiple states (and maybe a few countries) for a client, haven't drafted a contract without a playbook, or aren't the kind of person that always reads the boilerplate, then this is not the job for you.

We hire and evaluate from our Core Values - does this describe you:
  • Quality is Job #1: I always strive for the best result through superior effort. I embrace the “measure twice, cut once” principle.
  • We All Take Out the Trash: I reject a “that's not my job” mentality. I pitch in, help out, and solve problems collaboratively. I do whatever it takes to get the job done.
  • Mistakes to Mastery: I know mistakes happen. When they do, I acknowledge and learn from them. I pursue growth and learning daily.
  • Positive and Professional: I cannot always control what happens. I can and will control how I respond. I always strive to have a positive mindset.
  • 1% Rule: I am always looking for ways for the firm to improve. I embrace change.
  • Excellent Client Experience: At the conclusion of the engagement, the client will return to us for future legal assistance and confidently refer their colleagues.

Responsibilities*:
  • Provide excellent client service, including meeting deadlines.
  • Review, revise, draft, and negotiate a variety of healthcare, information technology, and data privacy and security contracts.
  • Draft contract provisions to the specific transaction and client's unique needs.
  • Monitor developments in federal and state healthcare (Anti-Kickback Statute, Stark, physician fee splitting) and privacy and security laws (HIPAA, NIST, state data breach notification laws) and provide legal advice to clients in a way that will allow them to operationalize the obligations.
  • Review and respond to correspondence from clients, opposing counsel, and regulators using all common business channels (e.g., email, telephone, meetings, video calls, screen sharing, and the like).
  • Provide input on creating and improving the Firm's systems, processes, and procedures to best serve the Firm's clients.
  • Maintain, update, and manage the client file, transaction status, tasks, and your time using the Firm's practice and document management system.

Details You'll Want to Know*:
This is a full-time position. No book of business is required. We offer an excellent benefits package, including health insurance (coverage for you is paid 100% by the firm), dental, vision, 401(k) with employer match, short- and long- term disability, life insurance, paid time off, and a home office allowance. Starting compensation will be re-evaluated as soon as you meet firm-set KPIs.
