Description
This course is designed to introduce students to the business and legal issues that arise in health care transactions and the complex regulatory environment surrounding such transactions. This course will cover health care mergers & acquisitions, joint ventures, and contracting with providers, suppliers, and vendors. Students will gain practical knowledge and an opportunity to participate in health care contract drafting, issue spotting, and negotiation exercises. The goal is to provide substantial instruction in professional and experiential skills generally regarded as necessary for effective and responsible participation in the legal profession, including practical experience in negotiating and drafting health care deal documents. In addition to lectures that cover basic legal concepts, students will engage in experiential group activities similar to that of a transactional lawyer. These exercises will help develop a student’s ability to apply legal analysis to real client scenarios and develop written and oral communication skills. Because this course is intended to develop a student’s practical skill set, exercises will also focus on a student’s ability to evaluate how legal analysis impacts business expectations.
