Healthcare

Expert healthcare legal advice and guidance

We are all living longer and over a quarter of our population is now aged over 65. The health and social care sector has grown at the same rapid rate with significant growth in specialist care homes, the explosion of domiciliary care at home, and a rising demand for specialist social care providers and children’s homes.

This presents considerable commercial opportunities. However, businesses now face an ever increasing regulatory and compliance burden, making the need for specialist healthcare solicitors and commercial legal advice all the more important for businesses within healthcare sectors.

Business healthcare solicitors

Our Healthcare Team provide concise, comprehensive, practical advice to healthcare providers of all sizes, no matter what type of help and guidance your business is in need of, including the acquisition, sale or setup of a business in the health and social care sector.

Support throughout the healthcare business lifecycle

We can guide you through the complex regulatory maze during your ownership and help in dealing with any disputes, regulatory challenges with CQC or other issues that may arise along the way and, ultimately, assist in planning and managing your exit from the sector. Neil Cook, a Partner within the team, has previously owned and run a care home, giving him additional first-hand expertise and knowledge of the day-to-day challenges which care providers face.
