People: Browne Jacobson; UHY Hacker Young
Browne Jacobson has added to its independent health & social care team after hiring corporate finance lawyer Vicky Tomlinson.
Tomlinson, who is currently based in the firm’s Nottingham corporate finance team, has over 10 years’ experience advising on all corporate M&A matters including share and business acquisitions and disposals, investments, group reorganisations and general company law matters.
Senior associate Tomlinson will work closely with Clare Auty, head of commercial health and lead partner for Browne Jacobson’s independent health and social care practice.
Auty said: “We have seen a considerable spike in corporate activity across the health and social care sector and the forecast is that this trend is likely to continue. Having someone with Vicky’s excellent corporate finance knowledge and experience on board will be a real asset for our clients and she will play a key role in contributing to our transactional growth strategy.
“Despite the challenges of the pandemic, healthcare has remained one of the most attractive assets for financial investors and has proved the resilience of the sector. We have seen a keen interest in retail healthcare such as fertility services where activity has been particularly strong. Looking ahead we also expect to see strong traction in the residential care home sector and in healthtech.”
