Meet Your Instructor, Michael Evens

For the past five years, Michael has been helping clients to navigate the complexities and frustrations of growing a health-tech business. He was co-founder of a fractional General Counsel law firm named Trifecta General Counsel and now is a partner at Michael Best (though he’s the Best Michael, it’s confusing). While having practiced law for the past five years focused on healthcare, Michael’s also done everything from managing sales teams, implementing sales processes and CRM, managing products and even running a few engineering teams. How many lawyers do you know that can say they ran engineering?

‍

Michael’s based outside of Minneapolis, MN, is a father of two awesome kids, a husband of one lovely lady and the owner of countless crushing disappointments as a lifelong MN sports fan.

We’ll start with the basics before you even get to contracting. Understanding the basics of data privacy, when something is considered a medical device, and the role of government entities in regulating. If you have never heard of “Stark law”...you should come to this session

Module 2

Commercial Contracting Foundations

(7/10, 12-130 PM EST)

We’ll go over what you can expect to see in sales contracts and how the different pieces interact with each other. We’ll also go through some of the key negotiating pieces like IP, security, SLAs, data use, and more. Contracts can be fun! We promise!

Two of the Michael Best Healthcare partners will chat from the health plan and health system perspective about some key negotiation points, how to think about your pitch in relation to contracting, and more. Plus you’ll get to ask questions (though it’s definitely not legal advice).
