GRSM Launches National Correctional Healthcare Practice

Gordon Rees Scully Mansukhani is pleased to announce the launch of its Correctional Healthcare practice, a dedicated subgroup within the firm’s national Healthcare practice. Led by Partners Allison Becker and Kendra Stark, the team provides a comprehensive suite of services to correctional healthcare providers nationwide, offering both courtroom advocacy and solutions-oriented counsel to address the unique challenges of delivering medical care in correctional settings.

The group offers extensive guidance across regulatory compliance, government contracting, professional liability defense, and transactions. With deep experience defending correctional healthcare providers in civil rights and constitutional claims, including class actions and ADA matters, the team understands the highly specialized legal environment in which their clients operate. They also regularly advise providers subject to court-ordered consent decrees, working closely with on-site professionals and monitors to support compliance and improve performance.

“Correctional healthcare providers face some of the most complex legal and regulatory challenges in the healthcare industry,” said Becker. “Our team combines decades of experience with GRSM’s national platform to deliver tailored, strategic solutions that support our clients in achieving both legal and institutional goals.”

The practice also offers counsel in risk management and litigation avoidance, providing in-service training, consultancy on policy and procedure development, and guidance on captive insurance programs through collaboration with GRSM’s alternative risk management group. With additional capabilities in mergers, acquisitions, and other strategic transactions, the team ensures that correctional healthcare providers are positioned for both operational efficiency and long-term stability.

“By combining our understanding of the correctional system with the firm’s full-service resources, we can help providers navigate every aspect of their work, from regulatory hurdles to courtroom defense,” shared Stark.

GRSM’s Correctional Healthcare Practice underscores the firm’s commitment to serving clients in highly regulated and specialized industries, offering integrated, nationwide support at the intersection of healthcare and the correctional system.
