Commercial Healthcare Lawyers
Many healthcare providers in England and Wales are privately owned and managed with a corporate business structure. Often, they provide a service to NHS and local authorities as well as private individuals. Whoever their clients are, due to the nature and responsibilities associated with their services, they must comply with sometimes complicated regulations.
