Markets in focus.

Our team of experts will advise you on all the regulatory, real estate and corporate law issues in this complex environment.

HealthTech and healthcare start-upsNumerous start-ups are struggling to gain a foothold in the next-generation healthcare market. At the same time the healthcare system is highly regulated. Different groups of stakeholders and health sectors, along with federal decision-making structures, technical complex-ity, difficulties in accessing funding, strict requirements for data protection and security – the list of challenges is long. Our healthcare industry team will provide the ex-pert advice you need to navigate today’s complex world of healthcare.

HospitalsWith high cost pressures, large funding gaps and rural exodus, the hospital sector continues to consolidate. GSK Stockmann advises on regulatory and funding issues as well as on hospital transactions. We will help you cre-ate optimal tax structures such as foundations. We also have the experience and expertise to pave the way for successful public procurement and state aid procedures – as a partner for public sector clients, companies and beneficiaries.

Nursing careDynamic growth, intense cost pressures and a complex regulatory framework. This is the nursing care market today. Faced with changing patient demographics, work-force shortages and the shift away from hospital-based inpatient care to outpatient care, this situation is not like-ly to change in the near future.
