Professional Liability
NBK regularly represents health care professionals of all types, from physicians to nurses, to medical technicians, in the defense of allegations of professional negligence in court and before professional licensing agencies
Contract Disputes
Sometimes litigation can be avoided by putting together the right contract on the front end or by recognizing and addressing minor contract disagreements before they blossom into something bigger. NBK has extensive experience in drafting, reviewing, revising, and negotiating contracts to help prevent minor issues from becoming major ones.
Medical Malpractice Defense
From alleged deviations from the standard of care to claims of lack of informed consent, the bedrock of NBK's practice is representing physicians, other healthcare providers, and institutions in the defense of medical malpractice claims brought by patients. NBK has decades of experience within this practice area and has often times helped shape the law to defend our clients.
Healthcare Regulation and Compliance
Part and parcel with representing our healthcare provider clients is assisting them in complying with ever evolving healthcare regulatory schemes. We assist clients with licensing issues before respective State Boards, ensure that our client's practices, forms and policies are up-to-date, and provide guidance in areas where the practice of healthcare delivery is impacted by regulation.
Employment Disputes
We know that despite people's best intentions disputes can arise between employees and employers. NBK has experience representing both when the relationship falls apart. We have experience assisting our clients in areas of severance, non-compete, wage and hourly pay disputes, and discrimination
Medical Staff Peer Review Issues
NBK is proud to defend our clients when internal conflicts at healthcare facilities turn into full peer review. We have successfully advised and defended our clients in these situations to ensure that their rights are fully protected, their confidentiality fully maintained, and that they receive the fair treatment and due process required by law.
Products Liability
The delivery of healthcare involves the use of devices, tools, and medicines subject to products liability laws. Often, the defense of healthcare providers involves the defense of the products they use. NBK has extensive experience in defending product manufactures when their devices are called into question.
Class Actions
From fights between businesses, to land disputes, and everything in between, NBK has successfully represented commercial litigants as both plaintiff and defendant (sometimes in the same case!).
