Biography

For her longstanding business and corporate, health care, construction, and real estate clients in both Rhode Island and Massachusetts, Susan works diligently and draws on her business and legal background to understand their business and legal needs, providing innovative yet practical solutions to their pressing problems. With her in-depth experience and years of counseling executives and senior management, Susan effectively assists clients to minimize potential litigation and disputes.

From high-stakes acquisitions, mergers, joint ventures and strategic alliances, from negotiation and drafting construction documents for owners, design professionals, and contractors, to all aspects of the construction process, including land acquisition and project financing to documentation, from secured lending and other forms of corporate finance structuring, to corporate governance and business succession planning, Susan provides her clients with strategic counsel and advice.

Susan is also adept at advising health care professionals and institutional providers across a wide spectrum of issues, including licensing, managed-care products, provider agreements, employment relationships, medical fraud and abuse, regulatory compliance, and medical-staff organization and credentialing. Susan is a member of the American Health Lawyers Association and, for more than five years, served as the legal writer for the monthly Health Care Professional.

Susan is a frequent pro bono speaker to legal, charitable, and community groups and published author on legal and ethics topics.
