John C. Dorn, Esq. will join the law firm of Foley & Foley, PC on Monday, March 15, 2010. John comes from private practice in both health care delivery and law. He brings the unique perspective of seeing medicine as a business, having developed and successfully managed private and hospital-based practices, a successful medical-legal consulting company, and a health care and small business assistance solo legal practice.
Our new health care and small business assistance practice will be led by John and will be grounded in contracts, torts, corporation law, administrative law, Anti-Kickback or conflict of interest, HIPAA, STARK, HITECH employment law and ethics. We are honored to have John join us. We consider it a privilege to share our skills, approach and experience with the community of small businesses including “the other great profession” (medicine) and many others. Read more about John’s bio and a description of our new health care and small business assistance practice. - Workplace law continues to be dynamic and much has changed recently. COBRA benefits were just extended. The ADA and FMLA received makeovers. OSHA is recommending that all employers develop Safety Plans. The Independent Contractor and Wage and Hour laws are being aggressively enforced; and we all have an obligation to secure personal information, just to name a few. Good News! Version 2 of the 2010 edition of “The Employers’ Guide to Understanding Massachusetts Workplace Law” is now available, upon request.
Here is what some of our client’s are saying about us:
Stephen Abbott, Retired (President and CEO) of Cape Cod Healthcare: “Cape Cod Healthcare has an obligation to treat its employees well and fairly, while at the same time controlling its costs. Foley & Foley enables us to do just that and our annual fees are established in advance.”
Margaret Corriveau, Executive Director of Heritage at Falmouth has found the Employment Practice Audit to be very valuable: “Mike Foley has done a thorough job of examining all of our hiring and HR policies and has recommended changes to both improve our personnel operations and improve employee satisfaction. Some of these changes have certainly helped us avoid legal problems.”
