His areas of expertise include joint venture formation, capitalization, and governance; structural, operational, and transactional guidance for joint-venture hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, physician group practices, and ancillary service and equipment providers; health care fraud and abuse compliance advice, specifically relating to the federal Stark Law, federal Anti-Kickback Statute, and Medicare program rules and regulations; negotiation and preparation of asset and company purchase agreements; negotiating and drafting business contracts; and providing general corporate advice on a broad range of related legal and business matters. Mr. Cardenas often serves as special health care counsel on complex transactional matters that implicate federal health care laws and regulations.
