Our attorneys have significant experience in the structuring and closing of complex corporate transactions in the health care industry. In recent years, we have completed several hundred M&A transactions with multistate providers of health care services.

Arent Fox provides a multidisciplinary team-approach to address all aspects of a transaction including tax, antitrust, bond financing, labor and employment, benefits, regulatory compliance, government approvals, and real estate. Our experience enables us to identify quickly key business and regulatory issues and facilitate the development of appropriate legal structures for a targeted transaction or relationship. We represent numerous health care entities in mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, and joint ventures. We have vast experience advising clients on how to structure these arrangements to comply with the Anti-kickback Statute, the Stark Law, the False Claims Act, and other federal and state laws governing relationships among health care providers.

We also represent private equity funds and other sources of equity to the health care industry, as well as lenders to public and private businesses that operate skilled nursing, assisted living, continuing care, and retirement and independent living facilities. We represent buyers and sellers of nursing homes, assisted living and independent living facilities, and a variety of ancillary service businesses in hundreds of transactions throughout the country. Our attorneys have years of experience in starting, financing, and growing early stage, venture-backed health care companies. We also advise clients on the regulatory and transactional legal issues faced by companies during accelerating growth.
