Built to address the wide-ranging needs of health care entities and professionals across the country, Ice Miller's multi-disciplinary Distressed Health Care & Life Sciences practice provides collaborative and comprehensive insolvency services to deliver effective and efficient client representation.
Together, we represent virtually all constituents in the health care industry, including hospitals and health systems (large, small, rural, for-profit, or non-profit), skilled nursing facilities, continuing care retirement centers, ambulatory surgery centers, physician practices, pharmaceutical manufacturers, medical device manufacturers and other life sciences and biotechnology companies, municipalities, and debt and finance counterparties. We represent our health care clients in all facets of insolvency, including bankruptcy and out-of-court restructurings, loan workouts, section 363 sales and out-of-court sale transactions, mergers and acquisitions, management disputes, real estate transactions, recapitalizations, financings, litigation, and regulatory and compliance matters. Our attorneys routinely litigate in bankruptcy, receivership, and state court insolvency proceedings on a national platform and represent profit and non-profit health care clients in mergers, acquisitions, strategic alliances, and other business arrangements.
We maintain deep experience in capital markets and structured finance, tax, environmental law, real estate, intellectual property, labor and employment law, pensions and benefits, intellectual property, and regulatory and compliance matters, and other legal challenges. Our attorneys understand the highly regulated nature of the health care industry and we advise on regulatory issues, including licensure, accreditation, compliance, fraud and abuse and health care reimbursement. We also frequently serve as bond counsel, issuer's counsel, bank counsel, and underwriter's counsel in a variety of taxable and tax-exempt municipal financings involving hospitals, health systems, and senior living providers, leveraging our nationally recognized municipal finance practice as an integral component of our multi-disciplinary team.
Ice Miller lawyers also have extensive experience representing companies in the life sciences and biotechnology industry, including licensing, collaborations, financings, secured lending, mezzanine, and junior capital financings, leveraged buyouts, roll-ups, build-ups and consolidations, divestitures and other exits, complex litigation, mergers, acquisitions, strategic alliances, and other business and insolvency-related arrangements and solutions.
We have strong relationships with health care consultants, turnaround and financial advisory firms, financial institutions, and industry groups in the market, providing a network of information and resources to best serve clients.
