The healthcare industry is very important to the Florida economy and is rapidly expanding. Historic changes are taking place and healthcare is expected to take an increasing portion of the budget. These changes and the speed with which we expect them to take place can be responded to by our attorneys who have a broad range of experience in this industry.
Our Health Care Services Team consists of attorneys with both operational and regulatory expertise. Members of the team are active in the creation of health care related start-ups, joint ventures, acquisitions, and divestitures. The team works closely with our tax and regulatory attorneys to effectively deal with the continually changing federal and state regulatory environment that impacts health care companies and providers. We are experienced with licensing and certificate of need issues. In this process, the team works closely with our real estate attorneys. We represent clients in developing and acquiring properties, obtaining necessary entitlements, certificates of need, and zoning approvals, resolving environmental issues, and negotiating project financing and leases.
With health care industry participants being the frequent target of complex and costly litigation, our dispute resolution attorneys often assist health care clients in effectively and efficiently resolving disputes, whether though arbitration, mediation or litigation.
Often, disputes arise in the context of employment relationships. Our employment law attorneys are therefore active in the labor intensive health care industry. Our transactional attorneys frequently work with our industry specialists in the sale or acquisition of health care companies.
We are experienced in working with the following participants in the health care industry:
- Hospitals
- Nursing homes
- Long term care providers
- Assisted living companies
- Hospices
- Home health companies
- Rehabilitation facilities
- Physicians and physician groups
- Managed care provider networks
- Pharmaceutical companies
Working with members of our nationally recognized Restructuring team, members of our Health Care Services Team are often involved in many of Florida’s most complex consensual workouts and bankruptcies of health care related entities. Working with our firm’s restructuring team is a resource available to our clients considering an investment in distressed health care projects or companies.
We are especially proud of our professional relationships with leading industry consultants, investment bankers, lenders and other attorneys specializing in serving the health care sector.
