Healthcare keeps absorbing new technology while its regulatory load only grows, and the two pressures rarely move in sync. MC Law advises providers, health systems, and digital health companies on data privacy, technology transactions, and the intellectual property tied to how care actually gets delivered. Our attorneys came out of software engineering, so when your platform handles protected health information, we understand the systems moving that data, not just the rules around it.
HIPAA and Health Data Privacy
Patient data is among the most regulated information you can hold. We build HIPAA compliance programs, draft business associate agreements, and prepare breach response and notification plans before you ever need them. We also track the growing patchwork of state health privacy laws and advise on research data use, so the way you collect, store, and share information holds up to scrutiny. The aim is privacy practices that protect patients and survive an audit.
Digital Health and Telemedicine
Technology is changing where and how care happens. We counsel on telemedicine programs, remote patient monitoring, patient engagement platforms, clinical decision support, and digital therapeutics, each of which raises its own mix of regulatory, privacy, and liability questions. We help you design these offerings to satisfy the rules that apply across the jurisdictions you serve, so you can deploy new care models without inheriting compliance problems you did not anticipate.
Technology Contracts and IP
Modern healthcare runs on software, devices, and vendor relationships, and every one of them rides on a contract. We negotiate technology licensing, vendor, and integration agreements, and we protect the IP behind proprietary tools, algorithms, and clinical workflows. We also advise on data ownership and use rights, so when you build or buy a platform, you know exactly what you control. The result is deals that protect both your operations and your innovations.
