About Ben Assad
Ben Assad Mirza has built a career at the intersection of law, public health and finance. His academic path stretches across several institutions and disciplines. He studied mechanical engineering at the University of Florida early in his academic life and earned a B.A. in accounting from Florida International University in 1991. He later pursued advanced legal and public health studies, including an LL.M. in taxation centered on mergers and acquisitions and graduate work at Yale in public health policy, and he holds a J.D. in healthcare law.
Those varied studies inform how he practices. He was admitted to the Washington, D.C. bar in 2003 and has combined legal training with accounting credentials. He is a Certified Public Accountant, formerly licensed through the Georgia Board of Accountancy, and he holds a certification in healthcare compliance from the organization formerly known as HCCA. By the mid-2010s he was focusing professionally on health care matters.
His professional record includes a role at Mirza Healthcare Law Partners beginning in 2016. There he has handled regulatory questions, transactional work and compliance matters for health care providers and related entities. The practice involves contract negotiation, tax structuring for transactions, and advising on state and federal regulatory requirements. He has worked on mergers and acquisitions that required coordination among legal, tax and operational teams. His accounting background feeds into that work and shapes how he evaluates financial and regulatory risk.
Colleagues describe him as methodical and exacting in document review and transaction structuring. He brings the language of finance into legal analysis. That approach can matter in deals where reimbursement, tax treatment and regulatory compliance intersect. He also advises on the development and assessment of compliance programs, internal audits and billing practices.
Outside the firm, Mr. Mirza maintains bar membership in Washington, D.C., and professional ties across health law and accounting circles. His training in public health policy complements the legal work, particularly where policy shifts affect hospital operations, payer arrangements or public reporting requirements.
He currently practices at Mirza | Healthcare Law Partners, operating from multiple offices. His practice centers on legal and compliance work for health care clients, transactional tax matters, and the regulatory issues that affect providers and health care organizations.
