Advisers of First Choice for Health Care Sector Leaders in Illinois & Nationwide
We regularly advise industry and government leaders on the development of major health care policies and operational needs and help shape the development and future of some of the nation’s largest health care systems. The breadth of our client following is noteworthy, ranging from large, publicly-traded organizations, recognized for-profit and not-for-profit health care systems, pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers to entrepreneurial health care entities looking to expand, merge and diversify, and to engage in clinical trials, de-centralized studies and research that have direct impact on patient outcomes and care. Our clinical research work underscores that clients regard Foley as the “go-to” firm for health care, pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device companies seeking help with their clinical research.
Recognized as leaders in health care for our transactional work, our team is extraordinarily strong in its representation of institutional health care providers, including hospitals, health care systems, large physician groups, ambulatory surgery centers and physician-owned hospital developers, contract research organizations and private equity groups. This includes hospital-hospital mergers, sales and joint ventures of ambulatory surgery centers, sales of contract research organizations and physician-owned hospitals.
