Katie Anderson has joined the health care practice group in the Springfield office of Hinshaw & Culbertson.
Previously with Heyl, Royster, Voelker & Allen, she brings
significant in-house experience at a hospital and regional health
system, in addition to private law practice.
“Katie adds significant knowledge of the inner workings and business considerations for health care systems and providers,” said Adam
Guetzow, chair of Hinshaw’s health care practice group. “With
her regulatory and compliance experience and strong track record in
medical malpractice defense, she will help us better serve clients at a
time of uncertainty with the changing regulatory landscape. We are
thrilled that she’s joined the firm.”
Anderson
has a successful track record defending physician practice groups and
individual physicians in medical malpractice litigation, and advises
clients on professional liability, federal
and state regulatory compliance issues, and employment matters. In
addition, she represents clients in transactional matters, executive
compensation, risk management, and contract review. She said she decided to join
Hinshaw because of the firm’s robust health care
practice and broad scope of legal services.
“Joining
the firm allows me to better serve my clients by meeting all of their
legal needs,” Anderson said. “I’m passionate about health care and
helping my clients manage rapidly evolving regulatory
and legal changes. Hinshaw also provides me with an opportunity to
expand my practice. My previous in-house experience has given me an
in-depth understanding of my clients’ internal operations and business
needs, and helps me provide creative solutions in
an efficient way.”
Prior
to joining Heyl, Royster, Voelker & Allen, Anderson was senior
associate general counsel at Memorial Health System and previously
served as vice president of legal affairs and corporate compliance at Decatur Memorial Hospital. She also practiced law at
Kehart, Trimble, Wise, Anderson & Booth. She received her bachelor’s in
psychology from College of Wooster in Wooster, Ohio, and her juris doctorate from
Case Western Reserve University School of Law.
“Katie’s
experience greatly expands our capabilities in the region,” said
Charles Schmadeke, partner-in-charge of the Springfield office. “She
will allow us to continue expanding our health care
practice while meeting our clients’ growing needs for legal services.”
