Your challenges
The challenges facing NHS estates and facilities departments in the next few years are new and varied. PCTs will have to deal with the property issues raised by the commissioner/provider split. Healthcare and hospital trusts face the challenge of delivering more from their estate at a time when capital spend is reducing as well as the need for carbon reduction.
Achieving your ambitions
Whatever your property or development needs, we can help. We act for a wide range of health clients and have the experience to guide you through even the trickiest negotiations.
Although we are health specialists we also act for private developers, investors, banks and corporate occupiers. This gives our lawyers the ability to understand what is important to the other parties involved in a transaction. We will still achieve the best result for you but help achieve compromise where necessary.
The strength you need
You will have a team of three partners and over 12 lawyers dedicated to health real estate. You’ll also have access to a range of planning and construction lawyers ensuring you get a complete service.
