The opportunities in the sector are significant. Our health and care sector expertise and the strength of our national transactional team helps us maximise our opportunities whilst managing the risk. As your business changes and faces the opportunities and challenges of the health and care sector, our sector specialists advise on growth (through acquisitions or joint ventures), restructuring and exits.
We work with independent health and care sector clients to deliver strategic corporate transactions, bolt-on acquisitions, and disposal programmes across the range of M&A, joint ventures, partnerships and refinancings/restructurings.
We help complete transactions that are right given the unique requirements and objectives of each of our clients, balancing risk, maximising opportunities and bringing a wealth of health sector and corporate experience. We help you challenge assumptions, collaborate and hit the ground running.
