Bart Walker, co-chair of the Healthcare & Life Sciences industry team, focuses almost exclusively on healthcare mergers and acquisitions, strategic joint ventures and healthcare regulatory advice. His practice includes advising healthcare providers as well as equity sponsors and lenders to the healthcare services sector. In connection with representing healthcare providers, he works with hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, dental services organizations (DSOs), urgent care providers, large physician group practices, and other ancillary services providers on their most important regulatory and transactional matters.
He regularly represents private equity funds, healthcare company founders, sellers, physicians, and other capital providers in various healthcare-related purchase, sale, and financing transactions. He has assisted in the re-syndication and start-up of numerous ambulatory surgery centers and hospital-physician joint ventures. He regularly lectures and writes on transactional and regulatory issues affecting a wide range of healthcare businesses.
While earning his law degree from the University of Notre Dame, Bart was named a White Scholar of the Thomas J. White Center on Law and Government. As an undergraduate, he was named a Morehead Scholar at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
