Health
Key strengths
Healthcare is one of the fastest growing sectors in the economy, and the range and expertise of legal services in the sector grows every year. The healthcare sector encompasses not just the provision of healthcare services, but also organisations working in the biomedical and other life sciences field, where Scotland is at the forefront of world research.
At Brodies, healthcare is a key sector focus, and we are one of the few law firms in Scotland able to offer a full range of legal services to healthcare clients. Our healthcare team comprises over 15 lawyers and contains leading experts from across the firm. We act for both public and private sector clients including the NHS, providers of healthcare services, GPs, developers, suppliers and biomedical companies. Our lawyers advise on procurements of new facilities, services and medical equipment, PPP and NPD projects, technology, corporate acquisitions, healthcare contracts, and dispute resolution.
Expertise
We have advised a number of clients on projects and cases that break new ground in the sector. Working with our clients on these projects and cases has given our lawyers a deep understanding of the sector. Fostering close working relationships with our clients, and bringing in lawyers from across the firm's practice areas, we are able to provide an integrated, dynamic service and invaluable assistance to help bring new and innovative projects to fruition.
What we can do for you
Brodies aims to work as part of your team. We work closely with clients to make sure we understand and respond to each client's needs. We pull bespoke teams together from across the firm, dedicated to developing an effective working relationship with the client, so that as well as providing the best legal advice we can, we also add value and offer solutions to the specific challenges each client faces.
