This CLE course will provide guidance to healthcare counsel involved in buying and selling long-term care facilities and the complex business and regulatory issues involved. The panel will offer guidance on structuring the arrangements and conducting due diligence.

Description

Buying and selling of long-term care facilities is at historic levels. The acquisition and sale of long-term care facilities requires sophisticated knowledge of business and regulatory issues to complete the transaction while protecting the parties from potential liabilities and unanticipated delays.

Acquiring long-term care facilities involves traditional business issues, as well as issues specific to the healthcare industry such as licensure, certificates of need, reimbursement, anti-kickback, and billing, among others. To save time and expense, healthcare counsel must anticipate and address challenges to minimize risks in a transaction.

As M&A activity continues to increase in the healthcare industry, counsel must carefully conduct due diligence with a thorough understanding of the complex and unique issues to successfully execute transactions while minimizing liability.
