Mills & Reeve has acted for Healthcare at Home on its strategic acquisition of Medihome group. Healthcare at Home is Europe’s largest clinical homecare provider, providing care to over 1 in every 500 people across the UK. It delivers acute healthcare services to patients in their own homes and operates virtual wards, working with every NHS trust in the UK.

Medihome visits over 70,000 patient a year and employs 240 staff across London, the South East and East of England.

Julian Smith, the partner who led the team at Mills & Reeve, said: “We are delighted to have been able to help Healthcare at Home in this landmark acquisition. This deal represents a further opportunity for the company to extend its services to more patients and offer further value to the NHS.”

Ruth Poole, commercial director at Healthcare at Home, said: "The Mills & Reeve team made the whole transaction process pretty painless. Their attention to detail was very impressive and they worked well with Medihome’s legal team, delivering a great result for us."

The Mills & Reeve team comprised Julian Smith, Junaid Haroon, Lauren Grieve and Victoria Lineton in the corporate team, as well as specialist lawyers Kevin Lowe, Chris Townsend, Edward Coulson, Chloe Bucktin and Anna Youngs, Sophie Burton-Jones and Catherine Fawlk.
