Lean on Our Expertise in Health Care Transactions and Finance

Offering clients in-depth support on a number of vital business and financial aspects of the health care industry.

Antitrust

Antitrust laws have been applied to staff privileges policies, rival provider relations, third-party payors, exclusive hospital-based practice contracts, purchasing arrangements, joint ventures, mergers and acquisitions, managed care contracting and network formation. We provide our clients with careful analysis and evaluation of antitrust requirements existing and proposed activities in these areas present to identify and address potential liability under antitrust laws.

Business Organization and Capitalization

We work with physician groups, hospitals, nursing homes and their investors and lenders to accomplish consolidations, mergers, acquisitions and divestitures, corporate restructurings, affiliations and financings.

Capitalization

Phillips Lytle’s Banking and Financial Services, Real Estate, and Public Finance Teams represent lenders, nursing homes, hospitals and continuing care communities in the structuring, negotiation and closing of numerous forms of financing, including tax-exempt leasing and tax-exempt bonds. We also represent clients with conventional working capital, term loan and mortgage loan facilities and equipment-leasing transactions.

Licensing

In addition to representing physicians and other professionals in proceedings before the Office of Professional Misconduct, we also assist professionals from other states and other countries with complying with New York State licensing requirements.

Privileging

We assist hospitals with operational issues concerning privileging standards and procedures. We also represent hospitals in administrative hearings and court proceedings concerning disputed privileging determinations.

Restructuring

Corporate restructuring and reorganization can provide the flexibility to adapt in the rapidly changing environment of the health care industry. We assist our clients in selecting and establishing new organizational structures and provide ongoing advice regarding that structure.

Taxation

We advise providers on various tax-related issues health care providers, including tax-exempt organizations, regularly confront. Typical tax issues tax-exempt organizations may encounter include private inurement, executive compensation, unrelated business income, and fundraising guidelines and documentation.
