Update on the Scrutiny of Healthcare Transactions in 2025 and What to Expect in 2026

Healthcare Transactions attorney John Saran will participate in the American Bar Association (ABA) Health Law Section's Healthcare Delivery & Innovation Conference, taking place in Chicago. The two-day conference will offer insights into the legal dimensions of emerging healthcare delivery models driven by advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), digital health, telemedicine and health apps, and more. Mr. Saran's session will take place on the first day of the event and will focus on increased scrutiny of healthcare mergers and acquisitions (M&A). Speakers will delve into new state laws on pre-closing review and zoom in on the top areas of focus to watch in the next 12 months. They will also describe federal regulatory activity from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Trade Commission (FTC), particularly their stance on roll-up transactions and attempts to regulate private equity investments in the healthcare industry. The presentation will provide actionable strategies for managing transactions and successfully guiding deals to completion amid legislative and regulatory uncertainty.
