A consummate professional who guided our healthcare merger flawlessly

When our regional healthcare group was navigating a complex merger, we turned to Steve Moore. His deep, 20+ year focus in corporate and healthcare law was immediately apparent. He combined the strategic vision of a board member with meticulous attention to transactional detail. Steve’s dual background in engineering and law allowed him to dissect operational complexities with unique clarity. The process was seamless, and his recent recognition as Lawyer of the Year was no surprise to us. He is not just a brilliant attorney but a trusted advisor who protects his clients' interests with unwavering professionalism. We achieved an outstanding outcome and could not be more grateful.
