We represent hospitals and healthcare facility operators; lenders and lessors of hospitals, senior living facilities, and similar facilities; parties to contracts with such entities; investors acquiring such facilities; and other parties that are affected by insolvencies and bankruptcies in the healthcare industry. We also represent creditors and other parties in pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device bankruptcies and insolvencies. Where appropriate, we are able to call upon our colleagues in the Healthcare and Pharmaceutical practice groups for assistance, including deep regulatory experience.
