In addition to mergers and acquisitions, his practice has focused on complex joint ventures, restructurings and corporate governance matters, primarily in the Healthcare space. He has over 35 years of experience negotiating and drafting sales and purchase agreements, loan preparations, equity securitization transactions (such as REITs), equity funds and partnership syndications of healthcare facilities. Mark is known for adroitly structuring transactions to maximize the benefits accruing to tax planning and financing promoters using an in-depth knowledge of 1031 Exchanges, Delaware Statutory Trusts and Series LLCs.

Mark is well known for counseling boards and senior management of Health Care Companies on critical governance issues, including risk management, restructurings, tax credit financing, use of Opportunity Zones and healthcare licensing applications, and other Federal and State regulatory matters, such as anti-kickback rules, Medicare and Medicaid audits. Mark specializes in loan workouts and forbearance and has successfully prevented many defaults and foreclosures on behalf of his clients.

Mark utilizes his in-depth knowledge of mortgage and asset-based financing vehicles, such as HUD and FHA-insured mortgages, and conventional, mezzanine and private equity financing, on behalf of his clients.
