AHLA Health Care Transactions Conference, Hosted by American Health Law Association

In the past few years, the bull market has led to historically high levels of mergers and acquisitions in the health care space. But as the market continues to cool, COVID stimulus funds cease, and the after-effects of the pandemic set in, more businesses will struggle to survive.

This conference presents an opportunity in the market for strategic acquirers looking to purchase distressed assets or entities at lower valuations. Acquiring distressed businesses presents unique challenges including, but not limited to:

• Fraudulent transfer actions
• Successor liability claims
• De Facto merger issues

Traditional risk-mitigation strategies, such as representations and warranties and indemnification may not be viable options in a distressed deal. Panelists will discuss strategies to successfully mitigate these risks in distressed transactions.
