For the sixth consecutive year, Mark E. Manigan, a member in the health law practice at Brach Eichler and a member of its executive committee, has been named among the 50 most powerful people in healthcare in New Jersey. Named to NJBiz’s “Power 50 Health Care,” Manigan was cited as “a powerhouse in terms of healthcare and law” and “his influence… stretches well beyond Trenton as he is a resource for players throughout the industry.”

Manigan has a regional practice focused on the representation of health care industry participants on transactional and regulatory matters. He serves a wide spectrum of health care clients, including health systems, ambulatory care facilities, physician groups, long-term care facilities, real estate operators and health care entrepreneurs. In addition, he serves as general counsel for many closely-held healthcare-related businesses and has been retained as special health care counsel by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court Trustee on multiple occasions.

Manigan provides representation to health care businesses on formation issues, strategic planning, sales, mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, dissolutions and general corporate matters. He also counsels clients on structuring joint ventures and other relationships among industry players, project financing and structuring and negotiating complex health care transactions. He is actively engaged in counseling health care providers on proactive strategies to deal with federal health care reform, other federal and state regulations, and industry consolidation. In this regard, he provides advice on vertical integration strategies and alternative reimbursement arrangements.

Manigan has also developed particular proficiency in all facets of the ambulatory surgical center (ASC) business. He currently serves as the Program Chair for the NJ ASC Review, an annual conference focusing on the latest developments in the ASC industry.

He previously was appointed to Governor-Elect Chris Christie's Transition Team, serving on its health care subcommittee. He was also selected by the chairman of the New Jersey State Assembly Financial Institutions and Insurance Committee, Gary S. Schaer (D-Passaic), to serve on a working group analyzing out-of-network health insurance issues, as well as served on the New Jersey Department of Health's Patient Safety Adverse Event Committee. Manigan was appointed by the Director and Chief Judge of the Division of Workers' Compensation to the Medicaid Task Force, a committee formed to review and assess provider reimbursement issues in workers compensation matters. He served as a panelist at the New Jersey: State of the State - Revitalizing Our Economy conference, presented by the Council on State Public Affairs, which promotes conversation on New Jersey public policy.
