Access to capital remains necessary for healthcare organizations to thrive. Our experience as counsel on a wide range of projects and financing techniques—together with our knowledge of tax and securities law—enables us to advise clients on the best transaction structure and documentation for their needs. We have served as borrower’s counsel, underwriter’s and disclosure counsel, and bank counsel for healthcare providers, banks, underwriters, issuers, and indenture trustees. We also represent healthcare organizations subject to Internal Revenue Service audits and those in financial distress regarding compliance with financial covenants and the restructuring of their debt obligations.
Our national healthcare practice strengthens our healthcare Finance team. We understand the business of healthcare and the complex legal landscape that providers face in an industry undergoing massive reinvention and transformation. Our team has a rich understanding of the health industry’s dynamics regarding business, regulations, and competition. The attorneys and resources in our healthcare practice support the many areas of law affecting healthcare providers, including licensing and certificates of need, government investigations and compliance counseling, information technology and privacy, reimbursement and managed care contracting, and hospital/physician alignment strategies. This depth of knowledge is invaluable when performing due diligence on behalf of our clients and addressing any disclosure or other legal issues that may arise.
Our client relationships do not end when the original financing transaction is complete. We handle post-issuance compliance and enforcement issues, including continuing disclosure compliance, program administration, IRS audits, SEC investigations, arbitrage rebate calculation, and investment placement and management. We counsel healthcare organizations affected by adverse financial conditions that affect their ability to comply with financial covenants and healthcare laws and regulations, including those who are unable to pay or who have defaulted on debts and are seeking bankruptcy or other workout scenarios.
