Bob Mintz, Managing Partner of the firm’s Newark office, spent a week in July with a group of medical professionals providing medical care to Guatemalans at clinics in Santa Cruz and Chisec. The legal component involves setting up the trip, making contact with the local health department, bringing the necessary drugs into the country, negotiating contracts for the hotels, and making sure that they have the right staff and the right drugs. Bob spoke with Corporate Counsel about the experience and said it was a great opportunity for two lawyers who work day to day on legal issues to work on something where their legal backgrounds were helpful. “This was by far one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. These clinics are a vital resource in the remote communities surrounding Chisec, where even basic health services can have a life-altering impact.”
