Legal Support For Health Care Transactions
Our lawyers at Weiss Zarett Brofman Sonnenklar & Levy, P.C., in New Hyde Park, handle a broad range of complex corporate transactional matters. Our lawyers represent businesses in general, but they also handle complex transactional matters for the health care market. Corporate transactions for health care entities and health systems are exceptionally complicated due to compliance and regulatory issues.
