Business Profile
Regency Clinic
Sector: Professional practices
The Regency Clinic is a leading healthcare centre in the region providing chiropractic, physiotherapy, massage, podiatry and other complementary therapies to around 500 people every week.
Rob Grace established the clinic in 2000 and built it up in to a leading practice over the 17-year period employing eight staff, 15 practitioners and numerous consultation room rentals.
He turned to Willans for guidance and legal support when approached by The Medical, a group of primary healthcare practices with clinics across the nation, to purchase his business in 2018.
Our Legal 500-rated corporate & commercial team, partner Paul Symes-Thompson and associate solicitor Sophie Martyn led the transaction. The deal required a multi-disciplinary approach, involving our employment and commercial property solicitors.
In addition to advising on the share sale agreement, the team handled an extensive disclosure exercise, dealt with the new lease and negotiated new service contracts.
Rob Grace and the team continue to work at the clinic which now forms part of The Medical portfolio of around 20 healthcare clinics across England.
