The care sector is unique in its regulatory demands, staffing challenges, and operational complexity. At Rubric Law, our care home solicitors understand this landscape and work closely with clients to provide tailored, commercially sound legal advice. Whether you operate a single-site residential care home or manage a portfolio of nursing facilities, we help you navigate legal challenges with clarity and confidence.
We have particular experience supporting clients through M&A transactions in the care home sector, where early-stage structuring and meticulous due diligence are key to success. Our team has advised on a wide range of care home acquisitions and disposals, from standalone homes to large, multi-site group sales. These transactions often involve regulatory approvals, CQC compliance, leasehold property transfers, and sensitive employee matters – all of which we manage with precision and commercial awareness.
We assist care providers with the legal frameworks that support long-term success. This includes drafting and negotiating commercial contracts, supplier agreements, and service terms that protect business interests and ensure continuity of care. Our employment law team supports clients with contracts, handbooks, and restructuring advice, especially where TUPE applies during business sales.
When it comes to real estate, our care home lawyers regularly advise on lease negotiations and freehold acquisitions, working closely with agents and lenders to ensure transactions complete smoothly. We also advise on corporate structuring, including shareholder agreements and governance documents that help operators manage risk and investor expectations.
As a full-service law firm, Rubric Law brings together expertise across corporate, commercial, employment, and property law, giving our clients an integrated legal service that is especially valuable during M&A activity. Our ability to handle large and complex transactions sets us apart – whether you are acquiring a new site, selling a care group, or preparing for long-term growth.
Rubric’s hands-on, partner-led approach ensures that clients in the care sector receive not only technical legal advice but commercial insight and strategic support. If you are considering a transaction or need specialist legal guidance tailored to the care industry, our care home solicitors are ready to help.
