LOS ANGELES, Feb. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Global law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP is strategically expanding its Corporate Practice in California to meet client demand in the area of mergers & acquisitions (M&A) with the addition of Ron S. Grace as a shareholder in the firm's Los Angeles office. Grace, whose practice focuses on M&A and transactional matters for clients in the health care industry, will also be a member of the firm's Health Care & FDA Practice.
Grace brings deep experience leading legal teams representing surgery centers, surgical hospitals, dialysis centers, physician groups (including independent physician associations), hospice providers, and imaging labs in a variety of joint ventures, strategic partnerships, acquisitions, dispositions, and syndications, as well as on operational matters. He has served as lead counsel in hundreds of transactions involving the mergers or acquisitions of ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) and outpatient, same-day surgical facilities throughout the United States.
"We are very pleased to bring Ron on board at an important time as we grow the health care focus within our corporate group in California to respond to changing needs in the marketplace," said Mark J. Kelson, co-chair of Greenberg Traurig's Global Corporate Practice. "Ron brings a wide range of industry-specific experience at the intersection of health care and business. Our clients will benefit from his high level of specialization and industry knowledge as he helps them achieve their business goals."
Grace was previously a partner and co-chair of the corporate practice at Nossaman LLP. At Greenberg Traurig he will advise clients on legal and business matters relating to all phases of health care transactions, from due diligence through closing and beyond, as well as on corporate governance needs, from corporate formations to partnership, operating, and shareholder agreements. He has considerable experience advising clients on health care compliance issues, including requirements under the Stark Law and the federal Anti-Kickback Statute.
In addition to his more than two decades of legal experience, Grace's previous legal and business development roles at two startup technology companies give him a strong perspective from which to advise entrepreneur clients on the full array of legal and business needs.
"Adding solutions-minded attorneys to our firm is critical for our clients. Ron's startup experience will make him an asset to growing companies of all sizes, but particularly emerging companies who will appreciate the practical business focus he brings to the table," said Barbara A. Jones and Gregory A. Fishman, co-managing shareholders of the Los Angeles office, in a joint statement.
"The reach of attorneys and depth of experience at Greenberg Traurig that I can now offer clients is unlimited," Grace said. "It's truly a global firm with an impressive U.S. footprint and exceptionally talented attorneys in the transactional and regulatory practices that are vital for my health care and corporate clients."
Grace earned a J.D. from Loyola Law School in Los Angeles and a B.A. with honors from the University of California at Santa Barbara.
