Zachary Chase Simpson

I am Zach Simpson, a Florida attorney and Managing Partner of The General Counsel Law Firm, PLLC in Miami Beach. I advise healthcare operators, business owners and leadership teams on the legal decisions involved in launching, operating and growing a business. My practice combines healthcare law, business transactions and fractional general counsel services for clients nationwide.

My healthcare work focuses on telehealth storefronts, telemedicine practices, management services organizations (MSOs), pharmacies, GLP-1 and peptide programs, and compounded-medication business models. I help clients evaluate entity and MSO structures, corporate practice of medicine and fee-splitting issues, provider and pharmacy relationships, state expansion, licensing, HIPAA and consumer health privacy, advertising, subscriptions, payment arrangements and patient-facing legal documents. I draft and negotiate management services agreements, business associate agreements, provider and pharmacy agreements, white label arrangements and other commercial contracts.

I also advise medical and dental practices, physician groups, med spas, surgery centers, plastic surgery and dermatology practices, skilled nursing and assisted living providers, rehabilitation and allied health businesses, laboratories, imaging centers, veterinary practices, healthcare technology companies and private equity-backed healthcare organizations. My broader business practice includes formation and governance, shareholder and operating agreements, employment matters, commercial contracts, intellectual property agreements, real estate, financing, mergers, acquisitions and divestitures.

Through fractional general counsel, I provide continuing support for business operations and legal priorities, working with owners and management as part of their team. That work includes contract management, compliance planning, risk assessment, transaction support and coordination with outside counsel.

Before establishing my firm, I served as General Counsel at Infinity Healthcare Management, advising a multistate skilled nursing and assisted living organization on contracts, acquisitions, regulatory compliance, employment and outside counsel management. My prior experience includes Florida Healthcare Law Firm; Executive Director of Operations and General Counsel at Palmetto Physical Medicine; Senior Contract Negotiator at One Call Care Management; General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer at Coastline Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation; and in-house counsel for Weise Prescription Shop. Earlier roles in surgery, medical practice and imaging operations give me a practical understanding of the businesses I advise. I also serve as Senior Of Counsel with Gordon Rees Scully Mansukhani, LLP.

I hold a Juris Doctor from Florida Coastal School of Law, an MBA from Jacksonville University and a bachelor's degree from Georgia Southern University. I have been admitted to practice in Florida since 2014.

Our Miami Beach office is open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern.
