The healthcare industry is going through a challenging time for mergers, acquisitions, and other business combinations. Industry players are facing a variety of headwinds, ranging from continuing margin pressure, to commercial payers amassing rosters of healthcare providers, to lingering issues from the pandemic. While strategic transactions with other industry players often provide a way to evolve in a rapidly shifting environment, such transactions are themselves facing a heightened level of scrutiny and skepticism. That creates challenges, but they are not insurmountable.
King & Spalding will host a one-hour webinar on Wednesday May 8 to discuss how to navigate the existing and emerging transactional environment. Topics will include:
- Recent trends in healthcare M&A
- Specific considerations unique to private equity transactions
- The current and near-term state of federal antitrust enforcement and congressional investigations
- The impact of California’s and other states’ healthcare transaction review laws
