Joel K. Goloskie is a Partner with Pannone Lopes Devereaux & O’Gara LLC. Repeatedly named by Best Lawyers® as a Best Lawyer in Healthcare in the competitive Boston market, Attorney Goloskie has spent the past 25 years guiding clients at the leading edge of innovation and opportunity.Recognizing decades ago that data would take a central role not just in healthcare but in the global economy, he now serves as regulatory and privacy counsel to numerous cloud-based IT platforms, ranging from the largest healthcare technology company in the U.S., to a rapidly-growing multinational with multiple foreign subsidiaries and offices in eighteen countries. Moreover, with the reasonable overhead structure of a high-quality boutique law firm, Attorney Goloskie is able to offer a rate-structure that is far more viable for PE-funded start-ups and growth companies.As commerce goes increasingly global, SaaS platforms, medical device manufacturers, and other technology companies represent the future of U.S. competitiveness abroad. American brands in these fields hold valuable cache in the international market, and bring tremendous revenue opportunities. However, this opportunity comes amidst a growing proliferation of national and multinational privacy and regulatory regimes.

From GDPR in the European Union to strict new privacy laws in countries like China and India, or South Korea’s new law on Regenerative Medicine and Advanced Biological Products, overseas opportunities depend like never before on compliance with an array of laws and regulations regarding operational areas ranging from data use and cross-border transfers, to security practices and privacy rights notices, to detailed regulatory contract addenda. Attorney Goloskie guides clients through these and other international regulatory thickets, helping to find pathways to profitability through the complexities of the law.Attorney Goloskie’s focus on data privacy, utilization and monetization began with the implementation of HIPAA, and has grown domestically to include state-specific laws like California’s CCPA, and the pending American Data Privacy and Protection Act (“ADPPA”), now making its way through Congress. ADPPA will bring a HIPAA-like focus on data privacy and security to large swathes of the American economy. Leading a strong team of partners and associates, Attorney Goloskie is well-equipped to ensure that clients in every industry are prepared for the challenges ADPPA will bring.

At the same time, Attorney Goloskie continues to draw upon his deep background in the world of “traditional” healthcare, whether representing providers with Certificate of Need or Change in Effective Control applications, or helping healthcare providers and SaaS platforms develop innovative business models amenable to private equity investment. Similarly, he continues an active practice of defending physicians and practitioners before licensure boards, and in defending institutional providers charged with healthcare fraud and abuse violations under federal and state laws such as the False Claims Act.

Complex litigation remains a core part of Attorney Goloskie’s practice, for clients ranging from providers and healthcare supply-chain distributors, to large construction companies. He has successfully litigated matters in courts up to and including the Federal Circuit. Fueling his passion for contested matters, Attorney Goloskie was previously a Captain in the U.S. Air Force, flying in combat and serving as an Instructor/Evaluator Special Operations Navigator on C-130 and C-141 aircraft.

Attorney Goloskie received a J.D. from Boston College Law School, an M.B.A. from Webster University, and a B.S. from Thomas College. He is licensed to practice in Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
