Associate, Corporate and Healthcare

Sukrti supports clients across a broad range of corporate and regulatory matters, advising at all stages of the business lifecycle with a strong concentration in healthcare and healthcare-adjacent industries. She regularly counsels physicians, medispas, multi-state provider groups, hospitals, and private equity sponsors on compliant corporate structuring, operational strategy, and growth initiatives. She provides guidance to healthcare start-ups, physician practices, and hospital systems on day-to-day operational, regulatory, and strategic matters, and assists clients in navigating complex and novel regulatory issues in highly regulated, multi-jurisdictional environments, including multi-state regulatory compliance and expansion.

In her corporate practice, Sukrti assists with the formation and capitalization of business structures and prepares key documents for fundraising, financing, and investor negotiations. She provides support on M&A transactions and in the structuring and implementation of Management Services Organization-Professional Corporation (MSO–PC) and Friendly PC models, ensuring compliance with Corporate Practice of Medicine (CPOM) doctrines, fee-splitting laws, and state ownership restrictions. Her work frequently involves advising on management services arrangements, equity structuring, rollover investments, and platform acquisitions involving physician-owned entities and private equity-backed healthcare companies.

Sukrti also has significant experience in physician and provider contracting, including drafting and negotiating employment agreements, independent contractor arrangements, professional services agreements, and compensation models (including wRVU-based structures), with careful attention to regulatory compliance and commercial reasonableness. Her practice includes coordinating regulatory due diligence and assisting with disclosure requirements, including for entities operating in FDA-regulated sectors.  She regularly structures and negotiates compensation arrangements with physicians in connection with employment and exclusive contracting arrangements, medical directorships, physician recruitment initiatives, office and equipment leases, and other key operational documents that support healthcare delivery and scalable platform growth.

She has developed particular strength in healthcare privacy and HIPAA compliance and works closely with firm partners to advise on federal and state regulatory frameworks. Sukrti regularly conducts multi-state regulatory analyses, including 50-state surveys addressing licensure, supervision, telehealth, reimbursement, and scope of practice considerations, enabling clients to expand across jurisdictions while mitigating regulatory risk.
