Associate Attorney, Healthcare - Orlando, United States - Melnik Legal PLLC

Description

Want to work on challenging and innovative legal issues that require strategic and creative thinking, for a law firm that cares about improving health care delivery, privacy, security, and technology? You'll be responsible for negotiating and drafting information technology and healthcare agreements, advising clients on current privacy and security frameworks and requirements as well as data use and data sharing across multiple jurisdictions, and advising clients on healthcare laws that impact provider contracting and healthcare services.

You'll have the opportunity to expand your knowledge and work on cutting-edge legal issues that impact people in their daily lives.

You must be admitted to practice law in the state where you are physically located; have 1+ years of transactional, regulatory, and technology legal experience; and have previous law firm experience.

What We're Looking For:

At Melnik Legal we hire talented people based on their accomplishments, intellectual curiosity, and a strong alignment with our core values.

We're looking for someone who has a strong desire and demonstrated capability to work on complex healthcare technology and data privacy and security legal matters, in a regulatory environment that is changing daily.

If you enjoy reading healthcare regulations, relish the thought of having to make sense of the privacy laws of multiple states (and maybe a few countries) for a client, draft contracts without a playbook, or are the kind of person that always reads the boilerplate, _
then this is the job for you_.

We hire and evaluate from our Core Values - does this describe you:

• 
  Quality is Job #1: I always strive for the best result through superior effort. I embrace the "measure twice, cut once" principle.

-
I Own It: I reject a "that's not my job" mentality. I pitch in, help out, and solve problems collaboratively. I do whatever it takes to get the job done.
-
Mistakes to Mastery: I know mistakes happen. When they do, I acknowledge and learn from them. I pursue growth and learning daily.
-
Positive and Professional: I cannot always control what happens. I can and will control how I respond. I always strive to have a positive mindset.
-
1% Rule: I am always looking for ways for the firm to improve. I embrace change.
-
Excellent Client Experience: At the conclusion of the engagement, the client will return to us for future legal assistance and confidently refer their colleagues.
