Regulatory Realities: A Guide to Success for Early Careerists on Hospital Deal Teams

Strategic corporate transactions that involve hospitals and health systems are subject to a plethora of federal, state, and local laws and regulations.  The high level of governmental oversight requires that hospital/health system transactions have separate signings and closings to allow sufficient time for the parties to accommodate the many filings, notices, consents, and other governmental approvals that are necessary to close the transaction as well as operate the business effectively after closing.  This program, presented by Sumaya Noush, Meredith Eng, and Nasir Hussain, highlights the "big ticket" federal and Illinois laws and regulations that you need to know to be an effective hospital/health system deal lawyer as well as best practices for efficiently getting over the closing finish line.

• Federal and Illinois laws and regulations that loom large for strategic corporate transactions that involve hospitals and health systems;
