Margaret Lane

Counsel to the Firm

Margaret Lane focuses her practice on health care regulatory work, including licensing opinions and regulatory matters, and work related to health care facility policies and agreements. She works with state regulators in connection with securing licenses for long term care facilities, and previously led the nonprofit Washington Vaccine Association.

Margaret’s vast experience in the health care industry includes representing diverse health care facilities, long term care facilities in financing transactions, working for a multi-state health insurer where she directed the public policy and regulatory team, and as a health care consultant. She has worked on projects relating to Skilled Nursing, Nursing Homes, health reform, ACOs, vaccines, market assessments, and medical respite.

She drafts and review contracts, including arbitration agreements, long term care resident admission agreements, and institutional long term care pharmacy agreements.

When COVID-19 arrived in the U.S., Margaret helped clients apply for provider relief fund dollars and provided frequent guidance on the latest state proclamations, state and federal guidelines and how they applied to long term care facilities.
