She counsels founders, executives and boards of privately held companies on issues ranging from corporate structure and governance, raising capital, mergers and acquisitions, and a wide variety of commercial and corporate matters.  

Andrea’s practice includes advising companies on health care transactions and regulatory compliance counseling, advising both buyers and sellers of health care technology companies, medical device manufacturers and distributers, durable medical equipment companies, physician practices, dental practices, hospitals, home health and hospice agencies, laboratories, telemedicine providers, skilled nursing facilities, long-term care facilities, and other ancillary health care providers. As an experienced restructuring lawyer, Andrea represents clients looking to purchase or sell distressed assets, both through out-of-court workouts and formal bankruptcy proceedings.
