Overview
With over 40 specialist corporate lawyers and an extended network of health and social care experts, we provide comprehensive support on every aspect of your strategic transactions no matter the size.
We advise private equity and venture capital funds, main market, AIM-quoted, portfolio and other privately-owned companies. Our experience includes private company sales, joint ventures, mergers, acquisitions, and divestments, so we understand the issues that will arise, anticipate them in advance and propose solutions that lead to efficient and cost-effective deal executions.
We act for almost all the leading private hospital operators, including Spire, Ramsey, HCA, Circle/BMI and Nuffield. We also act for market-leading companies involved in elderly and specialist care. By immersing ourselves in your part of the healthcare sector, we ensure that we understand the unique risks, challenges, and opportunities facing you.
If your deal crosses multiple borders, we can help you succeed by working with international colleagues and capitalising on established relationships with independent firms in the US, Europe, Asia, and other key jurisdictions.
Our purpose is to help you achieve the right outcome and efficient execution of your deals every time.
