Clifford Chance

The healthcare industry is one of the world's largest industries consuming over 10 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) in most developed nations. However in parallel to the industry healthcare providers like hospitals and clinics, community health centers and clinical research organisations are in the need to provide further services to patients to achieve long-lasting success in a legal environment that is strongly regulated and under continuous pressure.

As the sector has weathered difficult conditions in the past, widespread challenges continue to push changes within it. Widely reported regulatory changes, digital transformation and the need to obtain operational and financial scale and scope in the healthcare industry will lead to further changes within the sector. We are at the forefront of innovative approaches to meet these requirements with you and to:

• advance corporate objectives such as financing, mergers and acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures and partnerships
• implement clinical trials and studies
• adapt to regulatory changes
• meet pricing reimbursement and compliance challenges
• set up contractual documentation to be entered into with private practitioners and heavy equipment operators (MRI, particle accelerators, etc) and
• accompany your digital transformation
