Your challenges
Corporate transactions in the current market need to be fast, efficient and focussed on the real issues. Increasing numbers of healthcare providers are competing for the same business. Funding availability means that there is little room for drawn out deals. The regulatory burden is intensifying. And there is a backdrop of belt tightening by the public sector.
We relish the challenge to work beside our clients to achieve successful transactions in the current climate.
Achieving your ambitions

We also have exceptional insight into the needs and the approach of the public sector through acting for over 100 NHS organisations from the DH through to PCTs.
As your business changes, we can advise on funding your growth, restructuring your business and options around exits. Our team is keen to share its experience having helped our clients on the full range of corporate transactions including acquisitions, disposals, joint ventures, shareholders agreements, funding rounds, public markets work and reorganisations.
