McDermott advises Atrius Health on integration of new group affiliate

BOSTON – International law firm McDermott Will & Emery LLP represented Atrius Health in successful negotiations leading to Fallon Clinic becoming the sixth member of Atrius Health, a system of five non-profit community-based physician groups in Eastern Massachusetts.

As part of the negotiations, McDermott was responsible for securing regulatory approvals for the affiliation, including the negotiation of an Assurance of Discontinuance with the Massachusetts Attorney General.

As a result of the negotiations, the Atrius Health Groups, including Fallon Clinic, will be the largest physician-led system in Massachusetts, with more than 1,000 physicians and 7,200 employees serving almost one million adult and pediatric patients throughout Eastern and Central Massachusetts. With decades of experience managing patient care under risk contracts, Atrius Health is positioned to be a national leader in the shift from fee-for-service to global payment and the formation of accountable care organizations.

The McDermott transaction team included partners Christopher M. Jedrey, Charles R. Buck and Ashley M. Fischer, and associate Carla A. R. Hine.

There is considerable speculation in China that many large transactions that should have been notified for clearance by China’s Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) have not been properly notified, and Chinese government is going to go after the concerned concentrating parties.  Recently, the speculation came into being and all public comments must be filed before 23 June 2011.  New Draft Regulations, “Preliminary Regulations on the Investigation & Treatment of Failure to Report Concentration of Undertakings (Opinion Solicitation Draft),” clarify and provide MOFCOM with the power to investigate, fine and order divestiture of mergers and acquisitions that should have been, but have failed to be, notified and cleared by MOFCOM.
