Miami, March 15, 2021 -- Dentons, the world’s largest law firm, announces today the addition of Mark Folk to its Health Care practice. Resident in the Firm’s Miami office, Folk focuses on representing hospital companies, surgery centers and integrated delivery systems throughout the country, with extensive experience in Texas, Tennessee and Florida.

With more than 30 years of experience in the healthcare industry, Folk represents investor-owned and faith-based healthcare providers in the establishment of new strategic partnerships, including restructuring lines of service and securing capital for operations and expansion. His experience includes general corporate representation and various financing transactions, asset acquisitions, mergers, divestitures, syndications and other forms of corporate integration. Prior to joining Dentons, Folk was in private practice and previously founded his own firm in Texas, which was later purchased.

“We are excited to welcome Mark to our exceptional Health Care practice,” said Dentons US CEO Mike McNamara. “Mark’s depth of experience and client focus strongly complement our Health Care team’s strengths, and adding Mark will greatly benefit our clients given the ever-evolving demands within the healthcare industry.”

“Mark’s wealth of transactional knowledge and experience serving the industry will substantially benefit our clients and Health Care practice,” said Kimberly Kerry, chair of Dentons US’ Health Care practice. “He is a strong addition to our dynamic team and client synergies throughout Dentons.”

In response to changes in laws, regulations, and government policies and procedures as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, Folk advises healthcare clients in adjusting to new modalities of care and integrating physicians and new lines of business into their established patient care models. He has experience in mergers and acquisition transactions involving hospitals and other providers of healthcare services; transactions involving providers of healthcare services and referral sources, including acquisitions, divestitures, and professional services and employment arrangements; and creating joint ventures between for-profit and tax-exempt healthcare systems.

Folk earned his JD from Stanford Law School and his BA, magna cum laude, from Harvard College.
