Joseph M. Gorrell, Member
Joseph Gorrell has over 35 years of experience counseling hospitals, medical staffs, nursing homes, and individual practitioners on a broad scope of issues ranging from defense of licensure prosecutions and insurance fraud cases to practice acquisitions and other physician transactions. He has successfully represented numerous physicians before the New Jersey State Board of Medical Examiners and New York’s Office of Professional Conduct, defending claims, avoiding disciplinary actions, and achieving favorable settlements.
Known for his deep experience in transactional and litigation work, Joseph provides legal advice to hospital medical staffs on a variety of subjects and supervises individual physicians and physician practice groups that are contracting with hospitals, managed care companies, and other physicians. Joseph also counsels physicians who are establishing their own medical practices or becoming members of others.

A frequent lecturer, Joseph addresses health care organizations, medical schools, and the Institute for Continuing Legal Education on a variety of legal topics. Currently, Joseph is a sought-after speaker for his extensive knowledge of the opioid crisis and its effect on physicians and other prescribers.
Joseph is peer review rated AV-Preeminent, the highest rating for professional excellence, by Martindale-Hubbell. He has been included in The Best Lawyers in America© from 1993 – 2021 and New Jersey Super Lawyers since its inception in 2005. In 2015, he was named an ALM Top Legal Leader for New York and New Jersey and in 2014, was Best Lawyers in America’s® Newark Health Care Law “Lawyer of the Year.” In addition, Joseph was named a “2013 Top Rated Lawyer in Health Care” by American Lawyer Media and Martindale-Hubbell.
