Steptoe & Johnson's Long Term Care Team includes attorneys, legal assistants and nurses from the firm's litigation, business and labor groups working in seven offices. Group lawyers offer services in general litigation defense, both standard of care and general negligence; labor and employment representation, including wrongful termination, counseling, and workers' compensation; and regulatory compliance, including assistance with development of plans of correction. The group represents numerous national long term care providers in this litigation-intensive healthcare field.

To help prevent unnecessary litigation, Steptoe & Johnson provides continuing education credits for RNs, LPNs, and administrators, focusing on reducing claims through defensive charting and risk management.  The group's lawyers are active with and support the interests of clients in the West Virginia and Ohio Health Care Associations.

In-depth knowledge of the long term care industry and the geographic reach of the Long Term Care Team allows lawyers to provide effective, cost-efficient representation to clients throughout the region.  

The Long Term Care Team is committed to a coordinated approach to the defense of clients where litigation, labor and employment, and business attorneys partner with clients for a full service, team approach to representation.
