Health sector reforms have increased the demands on management with the resulting need for specialist advice. We assist clients with service provision contracts, trade practice issues under the Commerce Act and other legislation, compliance programmes, medical issues and pharmaceutical concerns. Our extensive industry background includes completing the legal establishment of the Crown Health Enterprises. We also advise on financing, taxation, employment, reorganisation, asset transactions and joint ventures in the health sector.

We advise numerous Crown entities on their contracting with health providers, including primary health organisations, GPs, community laboratories, pharmacists and pharmaceutical companies, disability support services, and Maori service providers.

We have been involved in advising on key regulatory aspects of New Zealand's health system including developing and drafting of sections of the New Zealand Public Health and Disability Act and advising on Human Rights Act implications of decision criteria for rationing health funding.
