Health Tech

Health tech continues to transform the healthcare sector. Electronic health records (EHRs) allow test results and diagnoses to be shared quickly, sophisticated modelling helps to detect trends or anomalies, and AI and blockchain are being used to analyse and secure large volumes of data.

Our specialist lawyers are embedded within this fast-moving area, supporting any business which supplies, uses or invests in health tech.

Our health tech expertise

Creating cutting edge products in a fast moving, regulated sector comes with a distinct set of challenges.

Our experts are truly immersed in the healthcare sector, keeping abreast of regulatory changes, monitoring the market and knowing many of the key players.

Pulling expertise from across the firm, we offer a full range of business services. For early-stage businesses, we support with corporate and commercial advice to get you started. From company set up to registering designs and brands, we make sure you are in the strongest position possible to start trading. Our corporate lawyers work closely with those looking to buy, sell or invest in health tech businesses, completing due diligence, and working alongside your other advisors to get the deal over the line.

Intellectual property (IP) is often a key area for health tech businesses. If you discover your IP has been infringed, or you are accused of infringement yourself, our litigation specialists are always on hand to deal with the situation swiftly and robustly, and with your interests at heart.

Our clients

We’ve been advising businesses on health tech matters for almost twenty years and are well connected in the sector.

The size of our dedicated team means we have the resource to advise on a wide range of matters. Our clients include high growth tech startups and individuals looking to invest in health tech. We also support businesses looking for investment via private equity, as well as private equity firms themselves.

From UK based owner managed businesses to international organisations, our experts are here to support you.

The Dental team at HCR were excellent in both guiding us through the challenging process of selling our dental practice but also in managing detailed due diligence and regulatory hurdles that we needed to get over.

Motunrayo in particular, but also Hazel in the Dental team and Rhondda in the property team all need special mention for going above and beyond for pushing the sale through.
