L. Montgomery Porter is a Member in the Health Care industry group and Business Law practice group, focusing primarily on mergers and acquisitions. He practices out of the Firm’s office in Evansville, Indiana. 

Bio

Monty’s practice centers on corporate transactional matters, including mergers, acquisitions and other business contracts. In the health care field, Monty regularly advises clients on the full range of health care issues, including employment contracting, physician practice buy-ins and buy-outs, the formation and operation of surgery centers, medical restrictive covenants, joint ventures and other affiliation structures between physicians and hospitals, payor contracts and negotiations, fraud and anti-kickback, Stark, HIPAA, and other regulatory issues.

While Monty enjoys serving clients in the medical field, he also advises clients in the manufacturing, financial and service industries on commercial and corporate matters including start-up companies.

A natural problem solver, Monty finds the most enjoyable part of his practice is learning the ins and outs of his clients’ businesses and providing counsel on how they can successfully accomplish their business goals. While he cannot control every outcome, he provides sound advice to allow his clients to make informed decisions and find the solutions that work best for them.

When he isn’t putting his legal skills to use, you can find Monty on the golf course perfecting his swing, in a boat fishing, or traveling to new and exciting locations.

Monty is an experienced and dependable attorney who always puts his clients first.
