Best Law Firms in the United States for Health Care Law

Conner & Winters was organized in 1933 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by John M. Winters, Jr. and Benjamin C. Conner. The young Firm was dealt a temporary setback when, on the day following formation of the partnership, President Franklin D. Roosevelt closed all banks in the nation by executive order, including the Firm's major client. The Firm persevered through this difficult period, and today the bank's successor continues to be a client.
GROWTH
The core activities of the young Firm were initially in banking, real estate, trusts, probate, estate planning, and the rapidly expanding field of oil and gas law. By the end of World War II, the Firm's practice had expanded into litigation; income, estate and gift taxation law; estate planning and corporate finance. During the 1990's, the Firm grew rapidly by acquiring a number of well-qualified attorneys from competing firms. Conner & Winters' Oklahoma City office was opened in 1994, and the Firm's Northwest Arkansas office was opened in Fayetteville in 1995. The Firm has since expanded to Santa Fe, New Mexico, Jackson, Wyoming, Houston and Dallas, Texas, and Washington DC. As a result of its growth, the Firm developed skills in labor and employment, employee benefits, commercial law, corporate and securities, propane, insurance and risk management, and several other areas.
Conner & Winters attributes its diversity of practice and its reputation as one of the region's leading firms to the individual and collective talent of our attorneys and staff. The Firm has been able to attract well-qualified graduates from Ivy League and other nationally prominent law schools as well as important regional and state law schools.
WORK STYLE
Conner & Winters practices the principle that client representation requires a thorough practical understanding of the client's situation - its business, market, products, personnel, strengths and weaknesses. The Firm's interest in its clients is not casual; it is intense. Hard work, independent thought, and practical solutions to problems describe the Firm's work style.
Oscislawski LLC was founded by Helen Oscislawski, a seasoned healthcare attorney who had the desire and vision to create a modern and progressive type of law firm that is driven by its clients’ needs and energized by its attorneys’ passion and enthusiasm. Oscislawski LLC has built its reputation on our substantial experience with advising clients on federal and state privacy laws. We are considered by many as a leading law firm for legal advice on HIPAA and HITECH, and well as legal issues arising from health information exchange (HIE) and use of health information technology (HIT). But, as many of our clients who hire us first for our experience with privacy laws quickly discover, we are not just about HIPAA. Attorneys at Oscislawski LLC have significant experience with a broad spectrum of healthcare laws, regulations and corporate transactions, as well as with governmental relations. In addition, when we work “side-by-side” with our clients, we do so literally by frequently traveling on-site to the client’s location and taking part in everything from strategic planning, to operational implementation, to addressing ad hoc legal issues. In the end, our story is about a fierce commitment to our clients’ needs, and courageous ambition to create a better future.
