ADAM GUETZOW
Adam has been my go-to for all new or complex legal changes effecting the long-term care industry.”
A dam Guetzow, a partner with Chicago’s Hinshaw Culbertson, has already built a litigation history that would be the envy of the most veteran of lawyers. This healthcare and long-term care at- torney has successfully tried and arbitrat- ed cases in Illinois, New York, Virginia and California. He’s also presented arguments before each U.S. District Court in Illinois and has appeared before the Seventh Cir- cuit Court of Appeals. Guetzow’s litigation successes have helped him build a large and loyal client base. His clients understand that should their cases reach litigation or administra- tive hearing, Guetzow will defend them vigorously, and will work tirelessly to achieve the best results. Alexis Costello is a good example. This senior claim examiner at Schaumburg, Il- linois-based Assurance TPA Services, met Guetzow about five years ago. He was holding a conference for long-term care industry professionals focusing on the Illinois Authorized Electronic Monitoring Act. Costello was so impressed, she asked Guetzow to consult with several of Assur- ance’s clients. And since then? Costello has turned to Guetzow whenever her clients face com- plicated legal matters. “Adam has been my go-to for all new or complex legal changes effecting the long- term care industry,” Costello said. Costello pointed to the COVID-19 pan- demic as an example of Guetzow’s talents. When the pandemic hit, it created an im- mediate threat to nursing homes across the country. Guetzow, Costello said, was at the cutting edge of understanding the chal- lenges and how to best overcome them. “While everyone else was reeling from
the realities of the pandemic, Adam was already planning his defensive strategy, which included documentation guidance we were able to provide to all of our cli- ents,” Costello said. Kevin McGee, CEO of Smith Senior Living, similarly explained that during the pandemic ‘His depth and knowledge of the law and regulations kept us on the straight path in terms of our residents and staff. Adam was also instrumental in articulating the impact of the guidelines from the Illinois Department of Public Health as to how it impacts the residents and services rendered in social distanc- ing and communicating with their family members.” Another client explained “Adam’s en- ergy and passion for representing his cli- ents comes through from the first time you meet Adam. He is dedicated not only to the outcomes of cases but the educa- tional growth of his clients to see them succeed in their business opportunities. Adam provides top tier advice and repre- sentation and achieves excellent results while remaining incredibly efficient.” Ruta Prasauskas, Vice President of Health Services of LeadingAge Illinois, stat- ed “He is my number one “go to guy” for legal expertise because of his knowledge, prompt response and welcoming nature.” Outside the courtroom, Guetzow has been active in multiple trade and com- munity organizations, including having previously served as a co-chair of the Anti-Defamation League’s young leader development program and its associate board. Guetzow also is an active member of Hinshaw Culbertson’s professional de- velopment committee as well as a mem- ber of the firm’s interviewing committee.
