As the largest health firm in the UK, we have an unparalleled 360 degree view of the NHS and wider healthcare landscape. Our long-standing specialist expertise means that we are well aware of the political, social and financial issues involved in resolving the sector’s trickiest legal challenges.
We understand the significant financial pressures facing the healthcare sector and our legal solutions are always delivered with this in mind.
We also know that the reputational stakes are high. The decisions you take may have significant ramifications. We offer timely advice that can prevent career-ending, reputational damage caused by factors ranging from negligence to poor governance.
Over the decades we’ve built strong relationships with senior people in the sector. We have grown-up conversations at Board level, with regulators and national healthcare organisations that mean we see the bigger picture. As a result, our solutions are practical and actionable as well as cost-effective. And delivered in language you understand.
Our key types of work include clinical law, employment law, real estate, litigation (including commercial and contract disputes, defamation/harassment issues, reputation management and trademark infringement), as well as corporate and commercial law. We also advise on medical technology and Primary Care.
As the ‘go-to’ firm regarding the interface between health and housing, we’ve provided expert advice to clients following the publication of the Naylor Review.
