The Opportunity
Health Law Advocates (HLA) is a non-profit, public interest law firm committed to ensuring universal access to quality health care in Massachusetts. HLA seeks an experienced, self-motivated, creative plaintiffs' litigator to enhance its in-court practice.
This litigator, after consultation with staff and experienced board members, will initiate litigation to achieve health care justice, often in partnership with other organizations and law firms. These issues arise in individual cases coming principally from our intake process, which can lead to broad-based impact litigation as well. 
The Litigation Director will join a highly regarded organization with a 30-year track record of successful legal advocacy to break down barriers to health care for consumers in historically excluded groups. This position is a great opportunity to make a difference on a range of cutting-edge health care issues and improve the quality of life of countless people. 
The ideal candidate will be: an experienced and skillful litigator who shares HLA's commitment to health care equity and social justice; a strategist who can identify solid opportunities for persuasion and for succeeding where efforts at persuasion fail; a relationship builder who can work with and lead teams of lawyers and others in broad-based health care justice campaigns.

<li>Fighting denials of eligibility for: state agency services, special education, and health insurance enrollment</li>
<li>Protecting patients from illegal medical billing and collection practices</li>
</ul>
Community Education and Outreach: HLA builds knowledge in communities on how to access health and mental health care through well-regarded trainings and presentations throughout Massachusetts and by authoring publications that promote access to health care.
Policy Advocacy: HLA advocates for public policy reforms that help consumers access health care and mental health care. We offer our legal expertise and experience working with consumers to policymakers on the state and federal levels, as well as advocate for policy changes by health care institutions to enhance health care access. 
HLA's effectiveness is strengthened by its relationship with its sister organization, Health Care for All (HCFA). HCFA is a leader in mobilizing consumer advocates and policy proposals to achieve universal health care access. The two organizations' headquarters are located together. HLA and HCFA create a robust ecosystem for influencing access to health care.
HLA is committed to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) at the individual, organizational, and systems levels.
