As healthcare reform continues to transform the competitive landscape, many healthcare providers are exploring mergers, acquisitions and other forms of consolidation. Yet the Federal Trade Commission remains skeptical of the lawfulness of such ventures. Recently, a federal court of appeals upheld the FTC’s challenge to the acquisition of a medical group by St. Luke’s Health System of Boise, Idaho. Join us for a webinar on Thursday, February 26 in which Richard Raskin, co-chair of Sidley Austin’s Healthcare practice, will moderate a discussion with partner Scott Stein, a member of the St. Luke’s trial team, and David Argue, PhD, who testified as an economic expert for the defense. The panel will discuss the court’s decision and what it portends for future healthcare mergers and acquisitions.
