Foundation trusts

Your challenges

Foundation trusts are a new and dynamic part of the NHS but they are also increasingly heavily and diversely regulated. We have the skills and insight to help you navigate the complex regulatory maze without blinding you with science.

Achieving your ambitions

Everywhere you look, in the NHS and beyond, there are opportunities for collaboration, competition and often both. As a foundation trust you have the freedom to do things that haven’t been done before.

We have a great track-record in innovation, from the first foundation trusts, the first franchising, the first two FT acquisitions and the UK’s first academic health science centre. Our approach is simple: if you have a great idea, our goal is to make it happen.

The strength you need

Your team will be carefully selected from amongst 16 partners and 67 other lawyers to match your needs. We can support you on anything from today’s crisis – such as consent to treatment, human rights, FOI or that letter from Monitor – right through to strategic advice on partnerships, real estate, planning, employment, contracts, procurement, IP, IT, banking and tax.

Lawyers you can trust

Our health practice is highly rated by both of the leading legal directories. Quoting our clients, they say we are “incredibly willing to make that extra effort” and “extremely helpful in getting us to the place that we want to be”. – Chambers UK
