Mark Ustin, the incoming chair of the New York State Bar Association’s Health Law Section, is ready to support practitioners in a diverse and ever-changing field.
“One of the things that’s interesting about health law is that it encompasses so many different disciplines,” Ustin said. “One of the challenges I think we have as a section is serving all those many different interests within that rubric of health law. But one of the things that I think unites everyone is that it is a highly regulatory space, and highly dependent on government in many ways, and there is so much uncertainty around government and in the healthcare space in particular.”
Ustin is a partner at Farrell Fritz in Albany, with a practice focusing on advising healthcare providers in regulatory and lobbying services. He started his career in state government, serving as counsel to the New York State Senate’s Health Committee and assistant counsel to the Governor Health, Mental Hygiene, and Aging.
