As the nation’s fourth most populous state, Florida is one of the largest markets for health care services of all kinds. 

And now, as the “baby boomer” generation begins joining the state’s already huge retiree community, the need for health care providers will increase even more dramatically.

At the same time, the health care industry itself is one of the most highly regulated and closely scrutinized industries of all. Issues concerning insurance, compliance, malpractice, Medicare, fraud and abuse – to name a few – demand highly competent, proactive legal counsel like never before.

de la Parte & Gilbert has extensive experience in all aspects of healthcare transactions, litigation and regulatory matters.

The firm has served as counsel to various healthcare clients, including hospitals, physician groups, tissue banks, medical device manufacturers, and diagnostic facilities. The firm’s clients include both for-profit and not-for-profit entities. This representation includes a full range of business and health law related services, including organizational, operational and financial aspects of healthcare entities.

In healthcare transactions, the firm provides a broad range of services for clients involved in commercial, corporate, and other transactions, and assists clients in performing business and legal due diligence.

de la Parte & Gilbert has assisted its healthcare clients in the formation, dissolution, acquisition, and sale of physician group practices, corporations, partnerships, joint ventures, and other types of business organizations.
