Susan Wissink is passionate about helping her clients, learning about their businesses, and helping them reach their goals in the areas of mergers and acquisitions, entity formation, loans, and general corporate matters. In numerous complex transactions, this experienced business attorney has represented both buyers and sellers, including asset and stock-based acquisitions and sales, mergers and other business reorganizations.

As a member of our five-person management committee, Susan’s leadership and vision help set the tone and direction of the firm. As a Phoenix-based business attorney, she assists her clients in forming new companies, strategic partnerships, commercial loans, general corporate matters and commercial health care matters.

Helping the victims of 9/11 with their legal needs after the terrorist attacks on the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York left a profound impression on Susan, and the experience instilled in her a lasting desire to provide pro bono services to those in need. Outside of her work as a sought-after business attorney, her favorite hobbies are spending time with her family, snow skiing, hiking, biking, and volunteering for local charities that help children or animals.

Fennemore Craig, P.C.

As the practice of health care continuously evolves with new laws, regulations, technologies, practices and breakthroughs, health care law continues to shift. Our experienced health care group offers innovative, responsive and practical solutions for legal problems arising from the heavily regulated and extremely intricate health care industry. We focus on resolving issues and garnering results that provide clients flexible solutions that are built to work long-term.

Our group assists clients with all aspects of health care and hospital law, including, but not limited to, complex transactions, fraud and abuse, HIPAA, licensing, insurance issues, hospital-physician relations, issues germane to assisted living and nursing home settings, health care employment and labor law, health care litigation, and government relations. Our experienced health care attorneys are also experienced in defending physicians, as well as other health care professionals, in actions brought against professionals by licensing entities such as the Medical Boards of Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada and other similar agencies.

The laws governing health care become more complex as new regulations are enacted by both states and the Federal Government. Navigating through the system requires the knowledge of well-read advisors to make certain no detail is overlooked. Our health care practice group works relentlessly to remain updated and informed as the industry evolves and trends emerge, ensuring adherence to the most current laws as they apply to each client.
