ABOUT

As the son of a physician, Ryan Cuthbertson has a unique appreciation for the work health care providers do and the challenges they face. Ryan provides guidance to health care providers, ranging from telehealth start-ups to large hospital systems, on a wide range of transactional, operational, and compliance matters. He serves as a trusted advisor who creates the structures, crafts the agreements, and facilitates the deals that position his clients for long-term success. With experience handling all manner of health care transactions from concept to consummation, Ryan focuses on complex joint ventures, practice acquisitions, real estate transactions and leasing arrangements.  His transactional work includes regulatory diligence, contract drafting and negotiation, closing, and pre-and post-closing licensing and regulatory (CHOW) issues.

Ryan’s clients are primarily pharmacies, laboratories, substance abuse treatment facilities, durable medical equipment suppliers, hospital systems, dialysis providers, long-term care facilities, and medical practices. He regularly advises telehealth start-up companies from a corporate and compliance perspective on structuring and expanding their business models nationally. Prior to entering the world of law, Ryan spent ten years as a United States Air Force officer, where he led diverse teams and honed his ability to effectively work with people with different personalities and experiences towards a common objective.

When Ryan is not working, you’ll find him enjoying the outdoors with his wife and two kids, whether it’s the beach, hiking/snowshoeing, or exploring coastal New England towns.
