Take the fear out of innovating

If you’ve ever worried your project will die in the IT Department, that you won’t be able to gain staff or community support of your ideas, or that you’ll lose control of a commercialization initiative, then we can help.

 
 

What innovators are asking us

  • How can we make our innovation initiatives accessible to both providers and patients in a compliant way?

  • How do we remove institutional barriers to innovation within our organization?

  • How do we adjust our legal strategy to accommodate the different risk profile needed to foster innovation?

  • How can outside counsel work with in-house counsel to accelerate innovation?

  • What is the right IP protection strategy for our IP commercialization plans?

  • How can implementing innovation initiatives help our bottom line?

  • How can we protect our non-profit status while creating additional revenue through innovation?

  • We’re already innovating, but how do we scale in a way which serves our system?

  • How can we best position our health system to meet growing demand for “hospital-at-home” services?

We’ve got answers for them—and for you.

Why we’re an easy fit for your organization

We know how to work with your in-house teams and outside consultants because we've been in your shoes.

Our Hospital and Health System Practice is staffed by attorneys with the in-house experience your innovation team stakeholders will find refreshing and trustworthy. We’re just like you—except we’ve also immersed ourselves in the business of healthcare innovation, so we’ve got the “outside” perspective as well.

This experience and insight makes us natural partners to understand and manage risks and opportunities in every area innovation touches a hospital or health system, such as Market Acceptance, Regulatory Compliance, Technology Implementation, IP Commercialization, Hospital-Physician Alignment, Reimbursement, Mission, and more.

We’ll help you uncover and address the root of your innovation challenges so you can more easily create, implement, or enhance innovative solutions.

 
 

How we’ll work together

NGL’s collaborative and innovative work style means you have a core unit of attorneys from our Hospital and Health System Practice behind you, supported as needed by our entire team of healthcare innovation attorneys and diverse subject matter experts.

You’ll be matched to a Lead Attorney within that team who will coordinate all your legal support throughout the Firm and serve as your main point of contact. Maintaining oversight over all this work is the Partner on Point, and underpinning it all are our technological solutions and finely-honed processes. (We were working as a cohesive virtual team with experts and clients all over the country long before the pandemic.)

These layers of expertise and efficient systems weave together to provide hospital and health system leaders the value of highly specialized legal support in a flexible and cost-effective manner.
