Our experience

Healthcare. It’s our specialist subject, with over half a century of experience advising clients in the sector. We’re known for going above and beyond for our clients and are well connected, often introducing clients to members of our wider network for support in other areas.

Shortlisted for several leading industry awards, and winners of the Legal Services award at the Social Care Top 30 Premier Supplier Awards 2023, we’re recognised in the industry for both our commitment and experience.

Our experts are on hand whatever your query may be. From growing the business or restructuring through to exit, we’re here to advise. All our lawyers work within healthcare but provide specialist services including corporate, commercial, employment, property, and banking and finance. If your business is the subject of enforcement action by regulators, we have specialist lawyers who advise on the complexities of healthcare regulation and compliance.

Our clients

The size of our team and our experience in the healthcare sector means our clients come in all shapes and sizes. We advise owner managed businesses and franchisees as well as private equity backed platforms and businesses.

Several of our clients are mid-size regional group businesses, often with multiple sites or properties and a range of associated legal service needs. Our work isn’t limited to corporate entities, supporting the varying, and often equally complex, needs of not-for-profit organisations within the healthcare sector.

Each day is different. One day we might be supporting a pharmacist looking to acquire a competitor, the next could be advising a dental practice on employment and locum agreements. Working with GPs and medical practices, we regularly advise on the creation of partnership agreements, amending them as partners join and leave. Perhaps you have a veterinary practice and are looking to sell in the future? Our multidisciplinary team can support your healthcare business at every stage of the business lifecycle.
