Strategic corporate transactions that involve hospitals and health systems are subject to a plethora of federal, state, and local laws and regulations. The high level of governmental oversight requires that hospital/health system transactions have separate signings and closings to allow sufficient time for the parties to accommodate the many filings, notices, consents, and other governmental approvals that are necessary to close the transaction as well as operate the business effectively after closing. This presentation highlights the “big ticket” federal and Illinois laws and regulations that you need to know to be an effective hospital/health system deal lawyer as well as best practices for efficiently getting over the closing finish line. Health care, government, and corporate lawyers with basic to intermediate practice experience who attend this online program will better understand:
Federal and Illinois laws and regulations that loom large for strategic corporate transactions that involve hospitals and health systems;
Best practices for efficiently and effectively navigating the executory period between signing and closing; and
Consequences for failing to meet governmental requirements for closing a hospital/health system transaction.

Welcome and Introductions
Colin Clark, Sandberg Phoenix, Edwardsville
Don’t Try to Represent Everyone: The
Identity of the Client and Conflicts of Interest in the Corporate Setting
Business
attorneys may find themselves dealing with a variety of individuals and legal
entities throughout the course of a single transaction or legal issue. It is important
to determine and document who the client is and make sure to avoid conflicts of
interest. This segment examines scenarios to be aware of in which executives
may ask for individual representation, side projects, or legal services in
exchange for business equity. Topics include Illinois Rule of Professional
Conduct 1.13 (the organization as client), Rule 1.7 (conflicts of interest in
dual representation), and Rule 1.18 (prospective client). Examples of
disciplinary action where attorneys have run afoul of these rules are included
throughout the discussion.
Nikhil A. Mehta, Saul Ewing LLP, Chicago
Don’t Take on Tasks Beyond Your Expertise or The Scope of Your License
Because so many companies do business
nationwide, they often come to their attorneys with a wide range of legal
problems. Lawyers may be tempted to work through their client’s legal issues,
even when those issues are not within their area of expertise or geographic
experience. This presentation explores a number of hypothetical scenarios to be
aware of and offers examples of disciplinary actions that have resulted from these
types of situations. Topics include: Rule 1.1 (competence), Rule 5.5 (the
unauthorized practice of law), and Rule 2.1 (the scope of advice).
Chad J. Richter, Mathis Marifian &
Richter Ltd., Edwardsville
Don’t Reveal or Use Client Confidences
The Illinois Rule of Professional Conduct 1.6 state that
lawyers may not “reveal information relating to the representation of a client”
except under certain circumstances. There are also laws (such as those against
insider trading) that prohibit the use of client confidences. But Illinois Rule
of Professional Conduct 4.1 does provide that lawyers have some limited duties
towards third parties. Join us for this comprehensive look at how to handle a
myriad of issues regarding client confidences, including cooperating with
government investigation into client crimes or fraud, clients requesting “the
same deal” as a prior client got, mistakes made by the other side in a
transaction, and aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty. Examples of real-life
cases that resulted in disciplinary action are also included.
Christopher C. Kendall, The Law Office of
Christopher C. Kendall, P.C., Chicago
Don’t Assume All Your Client Communications Are Privileged
Business
attorneys often wear multiple hats by providing both legal and business advice
to their clients. Jurisdictions are split over whether and when “dual-purpose”
communications can be covered by the privilege. The Second, Fifth, Sixth, and
Ninth Circuits state that communications are privileged only if legal advice is
“the” primary purpose. The D.C. Circuit applies privilege if legal advice is
“a” primary purpose. Yet the Seventh Circuit views it differently altogether. This
segment explores the various issues to be aware of, including why separating
business and legal advice as much as possible is paramount. A discussion on the
importance of developing clear document retention policies for both business
and legal communication is also included.
