KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Serve as an initial point of contact for a broad range of legal matters within Provider Solutions and across Oncology and Multispecialty, independently identifying and analyzing legal, regulatory, and business issues; exercising mature professional judgment to determine appropriate paths forward; and engaging supervising attorneys strategically on novel, high-risk, or precedent-setting matters.
