Geoffrey W.B. Koslig

Geoff assists health care clients with compliance, disputes, investigations and transactions.

Geoff’s practice focuses on resolving issues health care clients face with regulatory compliance, addressing noncompliance, the False Claims Act, government audits, privacy and licensure. Geoff’s health care clients include hospital systems, clinics, medical device manufacturers and long-term care providers.

Before law school, Geoff worked for a major non-profit organization where he handled regulatory compliance for this organization and other affiliated organizations. In this role, Geoff formed new entities, created cross-entity partnerships, prepared regulatory filings and corresponded with regulators while also developing and managing new programs. This experience provides Geoff with valuable insight into entities working to grow and accomplish their goals in the face of a shifting regulatory landscape. Geoff draws on this experience to resolve issues his clients face by developing practical solutions in partnership with his clients.
