“We are pleased to add Alan to our team and to continue our development as one of Boston’s leading law firms offering diversified services for the health care industry,” said J.

Einhorn joins Foley after serving as a partner at Nixon Peabody LLP, where he established a strong practice in health care law. He represents provider networks, hospitals, health plans, nursing homes, clinics, professional associations and individuals in entity formation, mergers, corporate reorganization, joint ventures, managed care contracting, health planning, staff development and licensure. He regularly advises clients on strategic, corporate compliance and tax exemption–related issues as well as regulatory issues associated with the formation and operation of provider entities.

Einhorn currently serves as treasurer and board member of the Massachusetts Health Council. He served on the national, New England and Massachusetts Affiliate boards of directors of the American Diabetes Association for nearly two decades. In addition, he served terms as chair of both the Eastern New England Region and the Massachusetts Affiliate of the American Diabetes Association.
