12:00 Noon – 5:00 P.M.

MCLE Conference Center,
10 Winter Place, via Winter Street
Addressing the growing cost of health care, desire to leave no person uninsured, and expectation that care should be delivered at the highest levels of quality have caused major changes to the health care landscape in the Commonwealth over the past several years. In 2012 there were two significant developments propelling these changes. First, Federal Health Reform, through the Patient P—assured by the Supreme Courts ruling and the reelection of President Obama. Second, Massachusetts has embarked on Health Reform II through the passage of Chapter 224 of the Acts of 2012. These two forces combine to make 2013 a busy year for lawmakers, regulators, payors, providers, drug and device manufacturers, patients, and the lawyers who serve these diverse groups.
This cutting-edge Conference is designed to address these dramatic changes in the Massachusetts health care marketplace and beyond from a sophisticated legal perspective. What do lawyers need to anticipate in order to advise clients? What new business opportunities await the industry and their legal counsel? What should organizations be doing now to prepare for change in the near term?
With many important perspectives to be heard about these developments, the Conference seeks to bring together diverse viewpoints and experiences to give attendees both breadth and depth on these important subjects. Hear from health lawyers as well as health care industry insiders living with a dynamic market. Lawyers that help their clients respond to a market in flux, exposing both risks and opportunities, are providing a critical service at this time. This Conference distills and addresses key issues and provides essential insight on the skills of lawyering in this evolving practice area.
