Burns White is proud to announce the launch of its Veterinary Legal Services Practice Group, dedicated to providing comprehensive legal support to veterinarians, animal hospitals, and related professionals within the industry.
Veterinarians devote their careers to caring for animals, but running a veterinary practice—or working within one—comes with increasingly complex legal, regulatory, and business challenges. Recognizing these unique demands, Burns White’s new practice group offers tailored counsel designed to help veterinary professionals protect their practices, their licenses, and their reputations.
“Our goal is to serve as a trusted legal partner for veterinarians at every stage of their professional journey,” said Anthony C. Sunseri, Chair of the Veterinary Services Practice Group at Burns White. “We understand the realities of veterinary medicine and we’re committed to delivering practical, results-driven solutions so our clients can focus on what matters most, caring for animals.”
The Veterinary Legal Services Practice Group combines attorneys with industry expertise and extensive experience in healthcare law, professional liability, and regulatory compliance. The team provides strategic counsel in areas including:
- Practice formation and business operations
- Employment law and contract matters
- Licensing and disciplinary board investigations
- Professional liability defense and litigation
- Regulatory compliance and risk management
“Veterinary professionals face a distinct set of challenges that require both legal precision and industry understanding,” said Stuart T. O’Neal, CEO of Burns White. “By launching this practice group, we’re extending our firm’s tradition of proactive counsel to a vital community that dedicates itself to animal health and welfare. We’re proud to support the people who dedicate their lives to caring for others—whether human or animal.”
By combining legal skill with an understanding of the day-to-day realities of veterinary practice, Burns White delivers proactive, knowledgeable guidance to help clients navigate challenges and achieve long-term success.
