Scaling a healthcare business is equal parts thrilling and overwhelming. Regulations shift daily. Operations are stretched thin. Strategy demands precision. What most founders discover quickly is that it’s not enough just to have expertise, but to have access to the right knowledge at the right moment.
At Elevare, we’ve always been about more than legal advice. Our goal is to be a growth partner. But let’s be honest, healthcare innovation doesn’t happen in isolation. That’s why we built something bigger: the Elevare CanopyTM.
The Story Behind the Canopy
For years, healthcare companies have spent too much time and too many valuable resources identifying the right niche experts, onboarding and re-onboarding those experts, coordinating multiple firms, filtering out advisers who default to historic precedent instead of future opportunity, decoding actionable insights from one-dimensional advice, and paying for capacity they don’t need and won’t use.
Clients often asked us for introductions to people we trusted, so we started with warm handoffs and traditional referrals. But then realized that clients still had to spend their own valuable time meeting those experts, teaching them about their business, confirming the fit, shuttling documents, chasing alignment, and stitching together fragmented input.
So we asked some simple questions: What would it look like if all of that friction disappeared? What if every specialist our clients needed was already aligned, already briefed, already calibrated to their risk tolerance and operating model before they meet them? And what if the value they paid for actually matched the value they received?
And then we built the answer.
The Explanation
Forgive us if this is too on-the-nose, but picture a forest canopy. Each tree grows independently, yet together they form a protective, cohesive cover that sustains the life below.
That’s the essence of the Elevare Canopy™ : a network where every expert is a proverbial “tree” contributing to a larger, more integrated system that helps healthcare businesses thrive as one. The Elevare CanopyTM delivers deep, multidisciplinary expertise that spans legal and strategic domains to help healthcare organizations navigate complexity with confidence.
The pillars that make the Elevare Canopy™ truly unique include:
- Healthcare mastery
- Innovation pulse
- Credibility
- Values alignment
By setting and maintaining rigorous standards, the Canopy ensures clients receive trusted, tested, and fully integrated support, without the risk or overhead of sourcing and managing multiple vendors.
The Domains
The Elevare Canopy™ adds to Elevare’s core healthcare regulatory and commercial expertise with five additional core legal domains that our shared clients need most:
- Corporate set-up and maintenance to make sure you build and grow your business from a strong foundation

- Employment & Employee Benefits (including ERISA) to support your internal hiring compliance and external sales efforts

But don’t just take it from us. Here’s what one of our Canopy members has to say:
We place an immense value on the relationship we maintain with Elevare Law. Our work involves the intersection of finance and compliance, which requires a high degree of sophistication from clients and their advisors to ensure financial viability and adherence to a strict regulatory framework. Our colleagues at Elevare Law are exemplary partners in that they bring industry-leading legal expertise, especially for businesses operating at the cutting edge of innovation in healthcare. Furthermore, the clients they bring to us come with a full understanding of applicable legal guardrails, making our engagement process efficient and mitigating risk. Especially important is the speed and quality of communications from the Elevare team; their responsiveness to requests ensures that there are no bottlenecks for our clients and we have full confidence in the robustness of their legal counsel.
Our mutual clients derive significant benefits through engaging different advisors through the Elevare CanopyTM. Through the education InHealth and Elevare provide to each other, clients develop a clear, upfront understanding of the cost, timing, and data needs associated with shared engagements. Time is frequently of the essence in our work, so the mutual workflows and collegiality we’ve developed greatly shortens the time necessary to complete all engagements. Furthermore, for clients that operate in new and emerging segments of the healthcare industry, deep trust among all advisors is essential to answer the hard questions that may not have not been explored before. As a member of the Elevare CanopyTM, we also have opportunities to develop thought leadership and innovative solutions with like-minded colleagues that further business development and enhance service offerings. For all of these reasons, we are proud to be a member of the Elevare CanopyTM.
