Healthcare: Mergers and Acquisitions

Related Professionals

Our M&A attorneys have wide-ranging experience guiding healthcare industry clients through each phase of a transaction while prioritizing their unique needs.

We advise on a full range of matters, including the structuring and execution of acquisitions, divestitures, mergers, restructurings, and approaches to other strategic business objectives.

On the sell side, we prepare clients for successful transactions before going to market. And on the buy side, we are mindful that due diligence, risk allocation, integration planning, and execution often are as critical to deal success as good deal terms.

Where a potential M&A deal requires specialized knowledge of certain healthcare regulatory or operational issues—like corporate practice or fee-splitting prohibitions, Medicare Advantage risk adjustment diagnosis coding and reimbursement practices, physician compensation structures, or licensure and federal healthcare program participation compliance—to evaluate potential deal risks, our team has the skills to assess risk against current and anticipated enforcement trends and counsel on potential protections.
