Smith Hulsey & Busey is inviting about 50 clients to the firm’s third annual health care law and management symposium Tuesday at TPC Sawgrass, the first practice-round day leading up to The Players Championship.
Presentations by the firm’s attorneys, along with public relations, marketing and technical professionals, will be tailored for chief executives, in-house counsel, compliance and risk managers and administrators of physician practices, said Charmaine Chiu, chair of the firm’s Health Care Practice Team.
“We represent a lot of businesses and we understand not just the legal aspects of their business, but management as well,” Chiu said.
The law firm has reserved the Championship Club, overlooking the 16th fairway, for the all-day program that will cover topics such as asset protection, medical data risk and security, and social media, management for health care professionals and organizations.
In addition to the presentations that qualify attendees for continuing education credit, the firm will provide breakfast, lunch, post-seminar cocktails and admission to the tournament’s Military Appreciation Day concert starring CMA 2017 New Artist of the Year Luke Combs.
“We will make our clients very comfortable,” Chiu said. “It’s a lovely way to get out of the office for the day.”
