Adult Social Care
With an increasingly ageing population, demand for adult social care continues to rise, putting pressure on an already stretched sector.
Our dedicated healthcare specialists can advise you on a wide range of issues your business may encounter, providing support when you need it and sharing the experience we have gained from advising similar businesses.
Healthcare specialists
We’ve been advising healthcare businesses for over half a century and have a thorough understanding of the sector. All the lawyers in the team work within healthcare but provide specialist services including corporate, commercial, employment, property, and banking and finance.
In such a heavily regulated area, our lawyers are on hand to support with any regulatory matters including advising on and challenging CQC decisions. More than 1.5m people were employed in the adult social care sector in 2022/23, more than in the NHS. Such a large workforce comes with its own set of challenges including high vacancy rates, high staff turnover and issues around pay.
Our healthcare team includes specialist employment lawyers who regularly support on these and many other employment matters. We can also draw upon the advice of our immigration law colleagues if, for example, you are looking to recruit from overseas using a Health and Care Worker visa.
Our clients
We work closely with a wide range of clients providing services within the adult social care sector. From private equity backed platforms and businesses to not-for-profit organisations, we use our experience to provide strategic advice, always keeping your objectives front of mind.
There are now more options than ever for those looking for adult social care, ranging from different types of care homes to homecare providers, retirement communities, supported living and specialist supported housing. Our specialist advisers act for mid-size regional care groups as well as national care providers, giving them the confidence to leave us to deal with a matter while they continue the day job.
