Job description
The Clover legal team is a small and nimble group that takes on novel issues that require creative solutions. You are joining a smart and scrappy group of in-house lawyers where you will proactively address legal matters that challenge you to think differently. As a key member of the team, you will work closely with the company’s business leaders to anticipate and develop legal solutions.
We’re looking to hire a Senior Litigation & Product Counsel to our team! In this role you will be responsible for helping (1) manage the company’s portfolio of actual and threatened litigation and regulatory investigations; (2) assess the litigation and regulatory risk of various company processes, initiatives, and communications; and (3) develop risk mitigation strategies. In addition, you will assist in drafting and negotiating customer contracts for Counterpart Health, a Clover subsidiary focused on enabling third-party payors and others to succeed in value-based care through use of Clover’s proprietary technology platform, Counterpart Assistant.
As our Senior Litigation & Product Counsel, you will:
- Manage the company’s portfolio of actual and threatened litigation and regulatory investigations by conducting legal research and internal fact-finding, and helping supervise outside counsel.
- Conduct internal investigations of potential regulatory violations raised through the company’s various reporting channels.
- Provide the company’s Medicare Advantage and Counterpart Assistant teams with practical day-to-day legal advice regarding Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) regulations, the Anti-Kickback Statute (“AKS”), the False Claims Act (“FCA”), and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”).
- Proactively identify areas of litigation and regulatory risk, and develop strategies to mitigate such risk.
- Draft and negotiate customer contracts for Counterpart Health.
Success in this role looks like:
- In your first few months you have built trusting relationships with stakeholders across the business, setting you up to be a strategic legal business partner.
- Within your first six months you have proactively identified and partnered to resolve risk areas, cementing your role as a trusted partner and advisor.
- Long term, your understanding of Clover’s business units and product offerings, investigative fortitude, and reliable business partnership skills serve as a force multiplier for our growing legal function.
