Building a healthy synergy in business and government
Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck's Health Care Group provides comprehensive legal and business advice to health care and health care-related organizations. Our group includes attorneys who are well versed in the nuances of business and legal transactions for health care companies.
The scope of our Health Care practice is intricate and varied. We have experience implementing clinic buy and build and de novo growth strategies; structuring joint ventures with physician investors; obtaining private equity and credit facility financing to fund aggressive growth; preparing medical director agreements and medical services agreements; coordinating ongoing client needs with respect to clinics, including construction contracts, leasing, patient and vendor disputes and follow-on acquisitions; and structuring, negotiating and documenting liquidity events for our clients.
Using a collaborative and integrated team approach, we help clients develop strategies to address immediate needs while also focusing on the company's overall business plan and exit strategy. Whether working on an acquisition or a financing matter, one of our most important functions is helping our clients to ensure their success.
