Kathrin E. Kudner, Ann Arbor-based member in Dykema’s Health Care practice group, was extensively quoted in the Wall Street Journal Private Equity Beat blog post, “Health Care Likely Continue M&A Streak, PE May Not Benefit.”
The article, which references Dykema’s 10th Annual Mergers & Acquisitions Outlook Survey, talks about the recent streak of health care M&A deals, namely through inversions, and how uncertainties over reimbursement keep many private equity firms from investing in hospitals.

She added that consolidation in healthcare hasn't peaked yet.
