With a strong background in healthcare regulatory compliance, Kim advises entities of all sizes on compliance with federal fraud and abuse laws and federal Stark Law. She works closely with clients to strategize and implement compliance policies, as well as to enhance her clients’ understanding of potential risk areas to avoid future compliance issues.

In addition, Kim advises her clients on employment agreements, business associate agreements, corporate structuring and medical staff issues.

Kim was instrumental in the founding of Chuhak & Tecson’s Not for Profit & Mission-Based Organizations practice group.

Kim advises a variety of not for profit organizations, including hospital systems, senior living providers, FQHCs, early childhood education providers, institutions of higher education and community foundations on a host of issues, such as tax-exempt financings, executive compensation and corporate reorganizations. She regularly presents to boards of directors on best governance practices and regulatory compliance issues, and ensures that her not for profit clients have succession plans in place to continually advance their missions.
