The global law firm Jones Day announces that Christopher (Chris) Anderson has joined the Firm’s Health Care Practice as a partner in its Chicago Office.
Mr. Anderson advises both for-profit and non-profit health care providers, private equity funds, and life science companies in transactional matters, which have included mergers, acquisitions, and affiliations of health systems, ambulatory surgery centers, large physician groups, and other providers. His experience includes the structuring of innovative arrangements between for-profit entities and nonprofit providers, leading to the preservation of community health care assets while creating value for investors.
Mr. Anderson has structured traditional and contractual joint ventures, pay-for-performance and gain sharing programs, and accountable care organizations, and has facilitated co-management agreements, efficiency projects, clinical integration, and other partnership opportunities for health care clients.

He is an especially good match for us and we look forward to his contributions.”
