Another of our law firm’s core activities is providing consulting services for private and public institutions of the health system. Besides providing continual counselling in all legal issues, especially in planning and financing law, company, contract, contract awarding and labour law, our law firm helps and assists both private and public health enterprises, service providers working for these entities and potential investors in the following matters:

• Mergers of hospital operations or hospital sponsors and other institutions of the public health system;
• Purchase or sale of hospital operations or single operations or shares in enterprises which operate public health facilities;
• Divesting partial operations;
• Establishing joint service companies with private service providers;
• Operator models.

In these activities, our law firm covers the full range of the different fields of law, in particular:

• Contract awarding law;
• Hospital and senior citizens’ home funding law, nursing rate law;
• Company / trust foundation law;
• Antitrust and competition law incl. competition law for corporations under public law;
• Labour law including issues relating to social insurance;
• Issues of old-age pensions (VBL and other pension systems).

We have special experience in setting up joint service companies between institutions of the public health system and private enterprises, where we have in the past realised a number of highly complex models involving several subsidiaries and several private partners. Our consulting services also address all issues in connection with the transfer of employees to new legal entities and the related legal issues involving old-age pensions.
