SOUTHFIELD, Mich., February 25, 2013 – Founding Shareholder Robert Iwrey of Southfield, Mich.-based The Health Law Partners, recently co-wrote a whitepaper published by the State Bar of Michigan on licensing procedures and investigations for health care providers titled, “Licensure & Certification: Process & Investigation.” Founding Shareholder Carey Kalmowitz made the announcement.
As a co-author, Iwrey’s chapter provided fellow attorneys with an outline of the processes followed by Michigan’s Bureau of Health Care Services with regard to investigations and prosecutions of health care providers that allegedly violate Michigan’s Public Health Code. The chapter also reviews the collateral effects that are associated with licensing sanctions.
Iwrey is a practicing litigator and has specialized his practice in health care transactional law, including licensure, staff privileges, contracts, physician practice issues, and health care investigation and audit defense. Iwrey was also recognized as a Super Lawyer in Health Law in each of the past three years and a DBusiness Top Lawyer in Health Care/Corporate Governance & Compliance in 2010, 2012 and 2013. An alumnus of the University of Michigan, Iwrey went on to graduate from Wayne State University Law School. There he was awarded the America Jurisprudence Award in Advanced Legal Writing and was an award-winning member of Moot Court.
