Ashley Osak helps health care organizations navigate transformative transactions in an increasingly complex regulatory environment. She advises hospitals, health systems, private equity sponsors and their portfolio companies, physician organizations, specialty provider groups and medical spas on mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, strategic affiliations and other growth initiatives.
Known for her practical and business-minded approach, Ashley guides clients through every stage of a transaction—from structuring and diligence through closing and post-transaction integration. She regularly counsels clients on corporate practice of medicine considerations, licensure and certification requirements, and operational issues that arise in connection with health care transactions and ongoing business operations.
Ashley has significant experience advising clients on California's evolving health care transaction oversight and approval landscape. She counsels health care organizations, investors and providers on pre-closing notice, review and consent requirements, including matters involving the California Office of Health Care Affordability (OHCA) and the California Attorney General. Ashley works closely with clients to assess regulatory risk, develop transaction strategies and navigate complex review processes while maintaining deal timelines and business objectives.
Drawing on her prior experience as associate counsel at a leading academic medical center, Ashley understands the operational realities facing health care organizations and brings a practical perspective to every engagement. Her ability to balance business, legal and regulatory considerations helps clients execute transactions efficiently while positioning them for long-term success.
