We help healthcare providers and suppliers operate strategically from both legal and policy perspectives within the ever-evolving healthcare landscape. State authorizations, including Certificate of Need (CON) laws and regulations, may impact or influence strategic planning initiatives for existing healthcare facilities, investors in proposed facilities, physicians, and other healthcare professionals. State law considerations may pose challenges to market entry, impact alignment strategies, and lead to changes in the terms of proposed transactions. Such authorizations often have value and may come with restrictions, conditions, or financial or service obligations. We have decades of experience counseling existing and proposed facilities and services of all types in their efforts to obtain approvals or denials of state authorizations. We also evaluate the impact of proposed amendments to CON laws and regulations and provide insight to industry associations, legislators, regulators, lobbyists, providers, suppliers, and other lawyers.
