Firm Continues Healthcare Team Expansion With
Fifth Healthcare Hire This Year
Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton LLP is pleased to
announce that Healthcare partner Stephanie Marcantonio has joined
the firm’s New York office. Marcantonio is the fifth partner to
join the firm’s rapidly growing Healthcare industry team this year,
following partners Doug Swill, Megan Rooney, Mike Wilson and
Angeles Garcia Cassin. Marcantonio joins from Crowell & Moring
LLP where she was a partner and a member of its corporate steering
committee.
In Marcantonio’s healthcare practice, she represents post-acute
healthcare providers and other healthcare entities in connection
with divestitures, mergers, affiliations and joint ventures, many
of which also include significant real estate components.
Marcantonio also advises public and private companies, including,
tax-exempt entities, government contractors and religious
organizations on a wide array of corporate transactional and
governance matters. In addition, she acts as regulatory counsel for
lenders such as Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, J.P. Morgan and
Morgan Stanley in connection with financings of nursing facilities,
assisted-living facilities, and other healthcare providers, and the
related securitizations.
“Investing in our transactional capabilities, particularly
within the healthcare sector, remains a key priority for the firm,”
said Luca Salvi, chair of Sheppard Mullin. “Stephanie has a proven
track record guiding public and private companies through
innovative mergers, joint ventures and affiliations while expertly
navigating the complexities of the current healthcare regulatory
landscape.”
“Considering the significant growth of our Healthcare practice
over the last few years, Stephanie’s arrival comes at the perfect
time,” Salvi added.
“As our nation’s population ages, the post-acute care market is
driving significant private equity investment, M&A activity and
real estate development. Stephanie’s transactional practice will
complement our national post-acute care regulatory team led by New
York partners Lourdes Martinez and Greg Smith, offering clients a
full-service solution to their legal needs,” said Eric Klein,
Sheppard Mullin’s Healthcare industry team leader.
“In addition, the firm’s real estate practice will provide
Stephanie’s clients the support they need as they continue to
develop and expand their investment in senior housing and
post-acute care facilities nationwide,” Klein added.
John Hempill, co-leader of Sheppard Mullin’s Corporate practice
group added: “We’re fortunate to welcome Stephanie in New York,
given her stellar reputation in the region. We have built a premier
transactional practice in New York, and Stephanie’s range of
experience, deep sector knowledge and commitment to client service
make her an ideal fit to our growing office and transactional
practices.”
Marcantonio’s recent transactions include:
- Represented Robin Hill Farm, Inc., a New Hampshire provider of
rehabilitation services for acquired brain injuries, in its sale to
national healthcare provider, BrightSpring Health Services, a KKR
portfolio company.
- Advised DXC Technology in connection with the divestiture of
its healthcare technology business to private equity firm Veritas
Capital.
- Advised Humana Inc. in its acquisition of Enclara Healthcare,

providers, from Consonance Capital Partners.
