Healthcare real estate rewards lawyers who understand the business strategy behind the asset, not just the documents that close the deal.

In this episode of "Counsel That Cares," Morgan Ribeiro, a director in Holland & Knight's Healthcare Section, speaks with John Bryant, the recently retired general counsel of Healthcare Realty Trust, about the evolution of outpatient care, risk management in large-scale growth and what in-house teams need from outside counsel. Mr. Bryant traces Healthcare Realty Trust's growth from a medical office pioneer to a $10 billion enterprise, explaining why practical legal advice, disciplined deal underwriting and strong client communication matter most when healthcare, real estate and regulation converge.
