Partner William Swart provides transactional counsel in the healthcare sector, representing healthcare clients and their investors, such as well-known private equity firms, fundless sponsors and large family offices, in mergers, acquisitions and financings. Bill regularly structures and documents initial portfolio company investments, acquisition financings, equity incentive plans for management and add-on acquisitions.
During his 30-year career as a corporate attorney in Texas, Bill has guided boards of directors and other corporate clients through numerous merger negotiations, management buyout discussions and debt transactions. Representative of his counsel are several successful healthcare deals, such as his representation of a regional health system in its consolidation with a national faith-based health system in a transaction valued at $900 million and his guidance of a private equity firm’s acquisition of a home health equipment leasing company operating in multiple states.
Bill applies his nuanced understanding of private equity issues to keep transactions on track, often identifying and resolving internal conflicts without disrupting the firm’s investment opportunities. His corporate law background also includes advising boards of directors, partners in private equity firms and management teams on insolvency and delicate governance issues.
In addition to healthcare, Bill has experience in the manufacturing, consumer products and energy industries, including working on sophisticated private equity deals in the midstream energy sector.
