The healthcare sector is under pressure. Due to an ageing population and smarter but more expensive treatment methods, costs are increasing, while further rises in healthcare spending are frowned upon. That is why the government has introduced regulated market forces, which means that on the one hand healthcare institutions are deemed to be competing on portfolio choices, quality, price and financing and are dealing with directors’ liability and competition rules. On the other hand, they are heavily regulated in areas such as profit distribution, procurement, remuneration and governance. This interplay requires both medical and organisational creativity.

Focus, economies of scale, innovative healthcare and new forms of financing offer viable solutions for healthcare directors. Houthoff’s Healthcare Team understands these developments. Time and again, we demonstrate our significant added value when it comes to dealing with the healthcare sector. Our Healthcare Team comprises more than 20 legal specialists who know both their own area of specialisation (such as competition law, regulations, governance, M&A, financing, privacy or labour law) and the healthcare sector inside out. If necessary, they can also rely on the expertise of Houthoff’s 280 other specialists. The Healthcare Team advise institutions on matters such as cure and care, healthcare insurers and investors.
