I provide concrete options with clear risk levels, recommended controls, owners, and a timeline so the business can make an informed decision and implement it effectively. Describe your approach to negotiating a healthcare services agreement with a health plan or strategic partner. I first clarify the commercial model, regulatory constraints, and non-negotiable risk areas. I then prioritize provisions involving scope, data use, privacy, reimbursement, compliance obligations, audit rights, liability, and termination, while offering workable alternatives that preserve the relationship and support execution. How would you assess legal risks associated with an AI-enabled healthcare product? I would map the product’s intended use, users, inputs, outputs, and decision rights, then assess privacy, security, clinical oversight, consumer protection, reimbursement, and applicable healthcare-regulatory considerations. I would partner with product and clinical leaders to establish documentation, human-review, validation, monitoring, and escalation controls proportionate to the risk. Tell us about a time you had to prioritize several urgent legal matters with incomplete information. I triaged matters based on patient impact, regulatory exposure, financial consequences, deadlines, and reversibility. I communicated assumptions and decision points early, assigned clear next steps, and created a short risk-based plan that allowed the business to proceed while the highest-risk issues received deeper analysis. What is your approach to managing outside counsel effectively? I define the business question, desired work product, budget, timeline, and decision-maker at the outset. I ask counsel for concise, actionable advice, manage scope through regular check-ins, and retain internal ownership of business context and final recommendations to control spend and ensure advice is usable.
