Private Healthcare
We support private healthcare providers across Scotland and the UK with strategic legal advice that addresses regulatory complexity, workforce challenges, and commercial growth—helping them deliver care with confidence in a changing landscape.
Sector expertise across private healthcare
Our team supports healthcare businesses throughout their entire lifecycle—from initial market entry and sales and distribution to growth, consolidation, and strategic exits. For dental practices, we advise on acquisitions, partnership agreements, and compliance, acting for some of Scotland’s fastest-growing groups and helping them scale sustainably or prepare for sale.
In the care sector, we guide operators and investors through major transactions, funding models, and operational strategy, ensuring long-term viability and readiness for future divestment or expansion. For medical aesthetics, we help clinics and practitioners navigate evolving regulation, protect their brand, and structure commercial agreements that support both immediate growth and enduring business resilience.

Private Healthcare insights
The future of cosmetic regulation in the UK: Legal, operational and commercial impacts
The UK’s cosmetic procedures sector operates under a fragmented and often inadequate regulatory regime. While surgical interventions are subject to healthcare regulation, many non-surgical aesthetic procedures – such as Botox, dermal fillers, and high-risk treatments like Brazilian Butt Lifts (BBLs) – remain largely outside statutory oversight.
New guidance: What clinical trial sponsors need to know about anonymisation and pseudonymisation of data
With the healthcare industry relying heavily on data for medical research and surveillance studies, it is critically important that sponsors, study sites and CROs know when data falls within the remit of 'personal data', which brings with it additional compliance requirements.
Balancing innovation and compliance in FemTech regulation
FemTech is one of the fastest-growing industries, bringing groundbreaking innovations to women's health. However, with such rapid expansion comes the challenge of ensuring effective regulation keeps pace. In the UK, a potential regulatory gap has emerged, with many FemTech apps operating outside the boundaries of formal healthcare oversight.
