Legal Counsel

Who We Are

Meroka is building the future of independent medicine in the United States. We provide operations, finance, tech, and strategic support to physician-owned practices-helping them grow sustainably and with soul. This is in addition to support for physicians transitioning ownership to the employees of the business.

We believe in clear communication, practical systems, thoughtful design, and long-term thinking. Our tone is warm, grounded, and confident-but never corporate or clinical.

This Role Is Not for You If…

• You prefer to focus narrowly on one area of law rather than balancing corporate, regulatory, and transactional work
• You avoid fast-paced environments where new structures and agreements are being built from scratch
• You default to “no” when presented with risk rather than helping teams find compliant, practical paths forward
• You are uncomfortable making complex legal concepts understandable to non-lawyers
• You prefer a reactive advisory role instead of proactively spotting risks and shaping strategy
  
  

What You’ll Do

• Corporate & Transactional Structuring: Support the design and execution of MSOs, trusts, equity models, and acquisition structures with clear, compliant legal frameworks
• Regulatory & Compliance Oversight: Ensure compliance with healthcare regulations (CPOM, Stark, Anti-Kickback), employment law, and other federal and state requirements
• Contracting & Legal Infrastructure: Draft, review, and negotiate contracts across MSAs, employment, leases, financing, and vendors; build standardized templates for scale
• Risk Management & Issue Spotting: Identify legal risks early and design mitigation strategies without slowing down the business
• Cross-Functional Business Support: Act as a partner to leadership, product, partnerships, and enablement teams - providing guidance that is practical, timely, and business-aligned
• Governance & Entity Management: Maintain clean, auditable records across Meroka’s entity structure; oversee corporate governance and support board documentation
  
  

We’re Looking For Someone Who…

• Has deep knowledge of healthcare and regulatory law (CPOM, scope-of-practice, HIPAA, ownership models)
• Brings business-first judgment - able to balance growth with compliance and risk management
• Is skilled at drafting, interpreting, and negotiating complex agreements with clarity and commercial pragmatism
• Understands multi-entity corporate structures, trusts, and MSOs
• Can translate legal concepts into plain language for non-lawyers and keep stakeholders aligned on risk, rights, and responsibilities
• Spots risks early, builds safeguards into systems and documents, and supports scalable internal policies that reduce exposure over time
  
  

What We Offer

• Competitive compensation and health benefits
• Unlimited vacation and flexible working arrangements
• The opportunity to build scalable legal frameworks in one of healthcare’s most innovative ownership models
• A seat at the table shaping strategy across transactions, compliance, and governance
• A mission-driven, ambitious team that values clarity, pragmatism, and long-term thinking
  
  

Additional Notes

• This role will require occasional travel to the USA and Canada for on-site campaigns, team collaboration, and brand activations. All travel will be coordinated and supported by the Meroka team.
