Getting better advice

I would like to compliment you on the way that you have supported us by adopting a "client" style role on the numerous development transactions, only bringing value important issues to us, always with an appropriate recommendation, whilst pushing ahead with obtaining all consents from funders and other third parties with a minimally intrusive style.

"Teenage Cancer Trust have been working with Paul Brampton at IBB for 3 years and prior to that we worked with him when he was at Taylor Wessing. The service directors and the trustees consider Paul to be an integral part of our organisation. We design, build and fund high specification developments in a challenging NHS environment. Paul makes that task easier and will always cover our back. He doesn't just adopt legal positions, he takes a lead in getting things done."

“David Clark, the commercial partner we dealt with was …..superb. Even when I contacted him within 10 minutes of speaking to [a colleague], he had already been updated on that conversation. I never felt as if I was being overcharged on an email by email basis - the fees felt proportionate to the task we were undertaking. IBB Law has become our preferred supplier."

Challenges facing the healthcare sector

The health sector in the UK at this time is a challenging environment. Significant changes in healthcare provision driven by the economy and proposed legislation will need operators to develop new models for financing the provision of clinical and care services and to look at new ways to provide the health care needed for the 21st century.

The hope is that a more competitive market will arise on the back of the political and sector changes that are to be implemented. Changes, for example, to primary care funding and clinical commissioning and the continuing debate about residential care or supported living will all have an effect on premises and workforce requirements, compliance and funding.

Our Healthcare team’s extensive experience with their understanding of your commercial and legal requirements, coupled with our pragmatic and commercial advice, will help you deal with these issues and achieve your goals.
