Past long-standing Chair of the Health Care Department, Ed Kornreich is a recognized authority on the legal, regulatory and business issues related to health care services. Ed works primarily on health care transactions, regulatory compliance and health care payment issues for varied providers (both for-profit and not-for-profit), HMOs, pharmaceutical companies, medical device companies, distributors and entrepreneurs. He also counsels providers on issues related to research, technology transfer and governance. His approach combines sensitivity to meeting business goals with a comprehensive and realistic assessment of the health care environment, and he is particularly experienced in dealing with the complex issues related to integrated health care systems.

After working for the Legal Aid Society, Ed entered private practice, where he helped represent a major public hospital corporation in a series of reimbursement disputes with the state and federal governments, and counseled New York area hospitals and nursing homes on reimbursement and operational issues. Thereafter, Ed served as General Counsel of St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center, one of the largest teaching hospitals in New York. After leaving St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center, Ed joined Proskauer as a Partner in 1990.

Ed frequently writes and lectures on Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement, health care integration, not-for-profit law and corporate governance issues, and the application of federal and state anti-kickback and “Stark” laws to health care transactions.
