Health Care Transactions (S)

LAW JD 998

This course is similar to Deals (JD 904) but centered in the health care sector. Partners and general counsel from leading firms will participate for the deals they were personally involved in. After an introduction to joint venture theory in the context of health care, everyone in the class examines 2 transactions: a physician recruiting agreement and an ambulatory surgery center JV. The remainder of the course will involve 5 – 6 complex health care transactions, using actual documents from recent deals. For these transactions, you will work in teams to analyze one of the transactions, and will present your conclusions to the lawyers who closed the deal. Your individual papers will be based on a topic related to your transaction.
