Healthcare: Finance

With a unique understanding of the healthcare industry, our finance attorneys help lenders and borrowers achieve their transactional goals.

Many of our finance attorneys have substantial transactional experience in the healthcare middle-market industry across all segments of the debt markets. We are committed to understanding the challenges, risks, and opportunities our clients face as we represent financial institutions and borrowers of all types. Our clients include leading domestic and international funding sources—senior, subordinated, secured (first or second lien), and unsecured loans—as well as institutional investors, equity sponsors, and borrowers. We understand the credit marketplace for healthcare transactions and bring that unique perspective to bear.
