About

Provided by Hogan Lovells

We know how overwhelming it can be trying to effectively navigate today’s regulatory environment and capitalize on strategic opportunities. Many members of our team have previously worked in key positions in both the private and public sectors, including the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

Having an in-depth understanding of the relationship between the government and global health care marketplace allows us to counsel you effectively on legal and regulatory issues — and to be your strategic advisor, litigator, and dealmaker, too. 

Our health care transactions team leads the nation in the number of complex hospital, academic medical centers, and health system transactions it has handled. Combining our technical and industry knowledge enables us to understand your objectives, plan for the positions likely to be taken by other parties, and help you develop the best deal structure
and strategy.
