Jon Lawley Partner at Acuity Law (002)

Leading commercial law firm Acuity Law has announced a significant milestone for its healthcare team.

Acuity Law operates in all areas of the healthcare sector, with specific expertise in dental practices, care homes, housing with care and pharmacies.

Led by Partner Jon Lawley, the eleven-strong healthcare team has completed on the sale or purchase of 150 dental practices across the UK. In total, the deals have a value in excess of £250 million.

Jon Lawley, Partner at Acuity Law, said: “Despite ongoing uncertainties around the future of NHS dentistry, we are seeing that activity in the M&A market in the dental sector is going from strength to strength. An increased demand for cosmetic treatments and a fragmented market dominated by independent practitioners makes the sector an attractive prospect for investors.

“Our team is recognised nationally for its expertise in the healthcare sector and is known for its solid understanding of the dental market which has helped us achieve this milestone.

“It is testament to the hard work and unrivalled skills of our dedicated healthcare team that our clients choose to put their trust in us time and time again.”

Since 2016, Acuity Law’s healthcare team has grown to become recognised specialists. It offers a full range of legal services and support to enable businesses operating in the healthcare sector realise their growth ambitions and address their legal needs in a proactive and cost-effective manner.

Established in 1999, the Acuity team has grown to more than 100 exceptional and instinctively commercial lawyers working throughout the UK, including 25 consultants shaping the business’ growing consultant community.

The top law firm has offices in Cardiff, Swansea, London and most recently Bristol.
