A timely ISBA Law Ed seminar, “De-fending Against Government Subpoenas and Investigations in the Health Care Arena,” will be presented by the Health Care Section on Friday, Jan. 20, in the ISBA Chicago Regional Office.

The program is a response to recent government investigations and the use of interviews of physicians and health care institutional board members that have caused great concern for health care counsel. Appropriate client responses and defense strategies will be addressed.

Section council chair Guy C. Hall of Dobbins, Fraker, Tennant, Joy & Perlstein, Champaign, is program coordinator and moderator.

Speakers are section council member Gerald G. Goldberg of Goldberg, Goldberg & Frankenstein, Chicago, and Steven A. Miller of Sachnoff & Weaver, Chicago. They will respond to questions and address ethical considerations after their presentations.

Miller will speak about practical and tactical methods of dealing with law enforcement entities when they serve subpoenas and investigate health care professionals and entities.

Goldberg will discuss dealing with administrative subpoenas and investigations on behalf of health care professionals and providers.

Luncheon will be provided, and teleconferencing is available.
