Health

In a changing sector, you need specialists you can rely on

At Addleshaw Goddard, we believe in partnerships. At each step of our relationship, our team of specialist healthcare and life sciences lawyers will help you to respond to change, reduce risk, anticipate future developments and be ready to maximise opportunities as they arise.

The healthcare and life sciences industry is an innovative one, currently experiencing challenges due to funding, increasing demand on services and in a heavily regulated environment. There is also, of course, the impact of Brexit. However, opportunities are plentiful as the market changes, including digital healthcare technologies having positive and disruptive effects, the increasing interaction between the public and private sectors and the growth of the retirement villages market.

How you respond to those challenges and opportunities is crucial in maintaining quality and, of course, a commercial advantage.

To help our clients succeed, we work closely with the sector's key players, study the markets, hold workshops and put our transactional skills and vast experience in other areas of law to good use.

Core Areas of Focus:

Our cross-disciplinary healthcare team has amassed in-depth knowledge and hands-on expertise across virtually every area of healthcare and is recognised as an industry leader.
