Our client’s need

A privately held home healthcare company acquired a similar company operating in Arizona as part of its national roll-up strategy. Following the acquisition, key employees of the acquired company left and took a significant portion of the company’s existing patient volume. Further, certain licenses were not maintained through the transaction, resulting in a situation where the company provided services for which it did not have licenses, and for which it was not able to obtain insurance reimbursement. As a consequence, the buyer filed suit seeking damages for alleged breaches of representations and warranties in the purchase agreement regarding the status of key employees and the status of state licenses.
