Mr. Barlament has extensive experience in a broad range of issues, including: health care reform (Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act) compliance and strategy; executive compensation issues; assisting both pension and welfare multi-employer plans in all their legal needs; merging and terminating plans; addressing the legal issues with controlling health care costs (such as wellness plan issues); COBRA; consumer-driven health plans (including HRAs and HSAs); HIPAA, including the Privacy Rules and Security Rules; and Medicare Part D issues.

He has published articles in this area, including “A Primer on Online Privacy” (Wisconsin Lawyer magazine) and was a contributor to the American Bar Association’s “International Guide to Privacy.” He also has participated in related groups, including the Consortium for Global Electronic Commerce’s E-Security Workgroup.
