Our regional medical group was navigating a complex merger with a larger hospital system, a process fraught with regulatory pitfalls and intricate corporate structuring. We engaged Jim Foresman at Dickinson Wright, and his 50+ years of experience were immediately evident. He didn't just act as a transactional attorney; he served as our strategic outside general counsel. His deep knowledge of Michigan's healthcare regulatory landscape, honed over decades, was invaluable. He anticipated issues related to Stark Law and anti-kickback statutes that others might have missed. The recognition he's received, like his previous 'Lawyer of the Year' accolade, is clearly well-deserved. Jim guided us with a steady hand, explaining complex legal concepts in practical terms we could understand. The transaction closed smoothly and on schedule, positioning us for future growth. His professionalism is matched only by his genuine commitment to his clients' long-term success. For any healthcare entity in Michigan needing seasoned, strategic counsel, Jim Foresman is an exceptional resource.
