Kimberly Rai

Kimberly Rai helps healthcare organizations navigate the deals, structures and regulatory demands that shape how care is delivered, financed and scaled across the country. As a corporate and transactional attorney in Holland & Knight's New York office, she guides hospitals, health systems, physician practices and life sciences companies through the full arc of their most consequential decisions, from forming new ventures and negotiating mergers and acquisitions (M&A) to restructuring existing operations. Clients turn to her not only for deal execution, but also for the judgment to anticipate what a transaction will mean for their business long after signing.

Ms. Rai's practice sits at the intersection of corporate strategy and healthcare regulation, a combination that allows her to see around corners that purely transactional counsel might miss. She regularly advises clients on the licensure and certification requirements that govern healthcare facilities, pharmacies and laboratories, as well as the corporate practice of medicine restrictions that shape how physician practices are structured and owned. Her regulatory work also extends to fraud and abuse laws and voluntary disclosures, in addition to counseling clients on telehealth platforms and multistate telehealth networks. She also helps clients respond to emerging trends in healthcare delivery, including the growth of medical spas and other new care models, guiding them through the licensure, ownership and compliance issues that come with entering these developing markets.

This dual fluency in transactions and regulation makes Ms. Rai a trusted advisor to a wide range of healthcare clients, including for-profit and not-for-profit hospitals, integrated delivery systems, academic medical centers, managed care organizations, pharmaceutical and life sciences companies, management companies, nursing homes, and charitable and religious organizations. Whether a client is pursuing a strategic affiliation, joint venture or corporate restructuring, she brings a practical, business-minded approach that keeps both the deal and the regulatory landscape in view.

Before joining Holland & Knight, Ms. Rai practiced in the healthcare transactional and regulatory group of a global law firm's New York office.
