Leading Health Care Law Firm Re-Named

Jan. 5, 2010 - PRLog -- Garfunkel, Wild & Travis, P.C., a leading health care law firm that will celebrate its 30th anniversary in 2010, has changed its name to Garfunkel Wild, P.C.  The firm will also further expand its Long Island offices to meet the needs of its growing client base and to position itself for the future.

Founded in 1980, the firm’s history has been marked by significant growth, especially during the past decade.  The number of firm attorneys more than doubled to 80, non-legal staff grew to 77, and firm locations expanded from one to three offices in the tri-state area.  

“As our firm enters a new decade, we are well positioned to serve our client’s needs and meet their objectives, not just because of our depth of talent, but also because of our depth of experience and commitment to client service,” said Founding Partner and Chairman Robert Andrew Wild.  “Garfunkel Wild continually seeks to invest in its future success.”

The firm expanded to New Jersey in 2001 and Connecticut in 2007, and continues to increase its array of traditional legal services to more broadly address the needs of its non-health care clients, as well as its health care clients.  Mr. Wild attributed the firm's growth to increased demand for its services by hospitals, doctors, and a wide range of other organizations in the health care industry that face increasingly complex legal, regulatory, business and financial issues.

“Garfunkel Wild is dedicated to dealing with the intricacies and challenges of one of the most highly regulated, yet consistently dynamic industries,” said Mr. Wild.
