Health and care

Health and care is an ecosystem. Your advisers need to understand every part of it and how they connect. With our extensive experience, we can help you navigate this complexity.

With our years as a leader in the health and care sector and our cross sector expertise, ​our lawyers cover everything from NHS workforce to the biggest transactions between the public and independent sectors.

We can help you in three key ways. 

  1. Deliver the big things - Mergers and acquisitions. Major contracts. Service redesign.
  2. Manage the everyday challenges - Workforce. Patient issues. Regulator relationships. Estates. ESG. 
  3. Make the important decisions - Being your critical friend. A second pair of eyes, guiding your decision-making.
