Health Care and Specialty Services

Health Care bankruptcies present unique concerns and problems for debtors, creditors, patients, payors, regulators and employees. Continuity and quality of care become issues that must be treated as a paramount priority, and healthcare restructurings are among the most complex of bankruptcy cases. The Firm has substantial experience in the administration of healthcare facilities, both as trustees and counsel to debtors, trustees and committees. The Firm has been involved in the last 25 years in over 15 major healthcare reorganizations or liquidations ranging from HMO reorganizations and liquidations in both state and federal courts to representation of creditors committees of HMOs, hospitals, medical groups and IPAs. The Firm has both operated HMOs, hospitals and nursing homes and represented all interested parties with different interest in those types of cases.
