Known for our work ethic and unparalleled depth of experience, we have an unmatched breadth of knowledge in working with physician practice acquisitions, health care private equity transactions, major health insurers and health systems, and collaborate daily with our entire global health care practice.

Few firms in Florida have the capability to bring in-depth regulatory experience and technical corporate transactional expertise to large healthcare M&A deals, both for private equity firms and healthcare providers. This dual capacity is one reason why McDermott is a prominent health care team in Florida.

McDermott has a market-leading private equity health care practice, as measured by deal activity in Pitchbook, that is truly lead by our Florida team. In terms of deal size, complexity and volume, we stand apart from other Florida firms. We represent Wall Street clients such as major private equity companies in deals that are more complex and sizeable than the smaller, regional work on which many other Florida firms focus.
