A partner with Manatt Health, will speak at the American Health Lawyers Association Health Care Transactions conference in Nashville on May 2.

This conference provides an opportunity to learn the latest commercial developments, strategies and deal forecasts from noted experts. Participants can gain insight into the business and legal issues involved in contemporary healthcare business transactions, including such topics as emerging care models, M&A trends, financing techniques, deal risk management strategies and post-integration lessons.

The session, titled “A Seat at the Closing Table: The Value of Inclusivity in Transactional Leadership and Teams,” will focus on the demand for diversity, the value of having diverse deal teams with in-house team members and outside business and legal advisors, and strategies to improve diversity and inclusion within your organization to meet the changing climate. We will also address how to provide guidance to parties when serving as an advisor in a deal; how to conduct due diligence on each party’s organizational diversity; and how to create and implement inclusion strategies, programs and culture.
