Health Care Regulatory and Compliance Advice

Affiliation, Purchase/Sale and Merger of Health Care Facilities

The firm's health care attorneys have represented numerous health care clients in merger, acquisition, affiliation and purchase/sale transactions.  Our activities include negotiating, structuring and documenting these transactions, as well as downsizing, conversion or closure of health care facilities.  The collective experience of the attorneys within the Practice Area includes the successful completion of such projects for major tertiary care hospitals as well as community-based institutions.  Representative projects include:

• Negotiation and structuring of several multihospital mergers and affiliations, including those among Catholic-sponsored and non-Catholic entities.
• Negotiation and structuring acquisition by purchase, lease or management of hospitals on behalf of a health system.
• Merging multiple physician specialty practice groups to achieve efficiencies and regional coverage.
• Formation of a specialty provider network through merger of five independent practices.
• Sale of a Chicago home health agency business to a national organization.
• Sale of a tax-exempt hospital to a for-profit health care system.

Practice Area and firm expertise in corporate transactions, antitrust counseling, Hart-Scott-Rodino filings, joint ventures and restructuring augment the Area's merger, acquisition, sale and affiliation practice.  ERISA/Benefits and Labor expertise provides valuable support to this segment of our practice and in particular to issues arising from downsizing or closure situations.
