Jon Henderson designs, implements and closes deals in the health care services industry by taking into account not only traditional corporate and structuring considerations, but also the additional layers of licensure, provider enrollment and other regulatory specific considerations that are part of executing regional and national transactions in the highly regulated health care industry.
In serving our clients, Jon has committed more than 20 years of his practice to corporate law and mergers and acquisitions with 14 of those years primarily dedicated to advising health care industry providers and investors. The majority of his practice is focused on advising buyers and sellers of middle-market health care services companies, most of which have business operations with multiple locations in multiple states, on their business formation and structuring, merger and acquisition, divestiture, joint venture and other complex commercial transactions and related transactional regulatory activities. Jon also frequently oversees the firm’s role as primary outside counsel in many of the client relationships. Religious health care organizations or private equity investors are involved in the majority of his projects. Over the last half dozen years, Jon has also been a student of disruptive innovation in health care services and applies those theories in conceptualizing and supporting our clients in designing and implementing new or evolving care delivery models.
Jon’s recently completed or currently ongoing leveraged buy-out, growth capital, merger and acquisition, divestiture and joint venture transactions involve:
- Home health
- Hospice
- Correctional health care
- Health care information technology

- Ambulatory surgery center
- Inpatient rehabilitation hospital

- Urgent care
- Virtual physician services

During the earlier years of his career, as well as currently when long-time investment banking or other existing relationships are participating, Jon advises our clients in other industries on business formations and structuring, mergers and acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures and other complex commercial transactions. The other industries where Jon has led deals include oil and gas field services, medical devices, radio stations, steel fabrication, insurance, and equipment rental.
