Overview
We understand the challenges facing independent healthcare providers, from structural changes and consolidation/new entrants, to increased CQC scrutiny on patient care, to cultural change affecting the management of the workforce and care of patients.
Offering tailored solutions that ensure compliance and sustainable growth, we provide legal, regulatory, and commercial advice, and support with mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, and commercial contracts. Our expertise extends to data protection, information governance, clinical negligence, medical malpractice and employment, pensions and immigration law.
We anticipate legal and regulatory changes in the healthcare industry, and translate them into innovative solutions for our clients. Our expert team are pioneers in healthcare law, offering creative advice to our clients, and working in such a seamlessly fluent way with them that they find it hard to tell where their team ends and ours begins.
We provide strategic regulatory and legal advice at board level, considering the interface between independent health providers and the NHS, regulators, and commissioners/insurers to manage reputational risk.
Featured experience
- Advising a leading private healthcare provider on the successful appeal of an Employment Tribunal (ET) award of lifelong losses (c.£1 million) to an able-bodied medical consultant in a whistleblowing claim. We were brought in at the appeal stage to replace previous legal advisers.
- Advising on the disposal of the Elysium Healthcare group by its private equity owner, BC Partners, to Ramsay Health, including preparing the property-related provisions of the legal fact book provided to potential bidders, certifying titles to a portfolio of more than 80 care homes (valued at c.£700m), and negotiating the property-related warranties and disclosures.
- Advising Flexicare, an international manufacturer and supplier of medical devices, in relation to its acquisition of Clement Clarke, a medical device engineering company from the Swiss-listed Haag-Streit Group following a competitive auction process.
- Representing GVV Kommunal and Viersen Hospital, a hospital in Germany which provides healthcare services to UK armed forces families. We defeated a £5-10 million contribution claim at the Supreme Court and changed the law on contribution claims after arguing that German law should apply to the contribution claim because it provided the hospital with a complete limitation defence.
