Mark joined the team at Seigfreid Bingham immediately after graduating law school and was quickly drawn to the health care industry. Mark has quickly become a go-to attorney for physicians, physician groups, hospitals and health systems that need counsel in health care law. His versatile experience in employment law, mergers and acquisitions, and general corporate work makes him valuable in other industries as well.

Serving those in health care with thorough counsel.

Mark spends most of his time serving the health care industry. He can help your medical practice by drafting and negotiating physician employment agreements, physician service agreements, employee policies, and creating management services arrangements. Mark also has experience assisting physicians in the implementation of concierge care and direct primary care models. He can also counsel your organization on a wide range of transactional legal needs, including equipment leases, transactional deals, clinic and office space leases, and employee handbooks. And if you are experiencing a health care merger or acquisition, he can help you with that process as well.

A firm grasp on health care compliance issues.

In addition, he can help you and your organization remain compliant with a wide range of federal and state regulatory systems. In particular, he can help you avoid fraud and abuse, wage and hour claims, and a host of issues related to Anti-Kickback/Stark laws, EMTALA, and State licensing issues.

His knowledge of the ever-evolving world of health care, paired with his responsive nature and communication skills make him the perfect business partner for those with a variety of legal issues.

A background in health care and employment law.

Mark’s unique background spans both health care law and employment law, which allows him to provide excellent value to hospitals and health systems with a wide range of needs. As a result, and unlike some Kansas City attorneys, Mark doesn’t need assistance from an employment lawyer when his business clients need employment law help – he has the experience to do it all.

Experience with mergers and acquisitions.

Mark also has experience working with buyers, sellers, and investors on asset purchases, stock purchases, mergers, and other complex business transactions in other industries with clients at all stages of the business life cycle.

Outside of the law, Mark serves as a board member for both the Kansas City CARE Clinic and KCPT-Kansas City Public Television.
