Parker Poe attorneys represent health professionals and facilities involved in preparing and submitting licensing applications as well as in administrative investigations and disciplinary proceedings initiated by state licensure authorities. We guide clients from the receipt of an initial complaint through the investigation process, and defend our clients against formal disciplinary charges in contested hearings. We also provide counsel on the laws and policies governing licensure of health professionals and facilities to assist them with various issues, including compliance, corporate structure, and employment.

Our services have included assisting physicians, dentists and other professionals responding to inquiries made during licensing board investigations; accompanying clients to meetings with investigators and licensing board staff; obtaining an injunction against a licensing board for the improper release of a professional’s psychiatric records; filing pleadings and representing clients through formal disciplinary hearings; and negotiating public and private settlements of formal disciplinary charges. We also have advised pharmacies regarding various reporting requirements imposed by licensing board and have advised health care clients regarding limitations on corporate structure and employment of health professionals imposed by licensing boards.
