Beau M. Bettiga

Beau M. Bettiga is an associate at Wise Carter in Jackson who advises private and public entities on transactional, compliance, and litigation matters. Beau’s practice includes Healthcare, Healthcare Transactions, Healthcare Litigation and Risk Management, Medicare, Medicaid, and Reimbursement, Hospital Governance, Operations, and Policies, Medical Staff Bylaws and Proceedings, Transportation, Railroad, General Business & Corporate Law, Commercial Litigation, and Professional Liability. He works in technical and heavily regulated areas where legal and operational issues often overlap.

Beau earned his J.D. from the University of Wisconsin Law School in 2019 and a B.A. in International Studies and French from the University of Mississippi in 2016, cum laude. He was admitted in Wisconsin and Mississippi in 2019. His legal education and international studies background support work involving regulation, contracts, government programs, and complex institutional clients, while his earlier Wisconsin practice gave him experience across several additional areas of civil law.

Before joining Wise Carter, Beau practiced in Wisconsin in elder law, estate planning, probate and trust administration, employment, and residential, commercial, and agricultural real estate. After returning to Mississippi, he served as Director of Administrative Hearings for the Mississippi Department of Human Services and as Human Resources Attorney for the Mississippi Department of Corrections. Those public roles gave him experience with administrative procedure, employment matters, government operations, and regulated decision-making.

Beau M. Bettiga now applies that combination of private-practice and government experience to health care, reimbursement, business, transportation, and professional liability matters. His work can involve Medicaid and Medicare issues, hospital operations, contracts, governance, regulatory compliance, and litigation risk. By drawing on administrative, employment, transactional, and courtroom experience, he helps clients address legal questions that affect both day-to-day operations and longer-term institutional planning.
