A cross-practice Mintz team, led by several Public Finance Members, assisted Mass General Brigham in a $460 million publicly offered tax-exempt bond financing. The transaction marked the not-for-profit, integrated health care system’s return to the public debt market after nearly four years.

Mintz advised Seventh Generation, a maker of environmentally friendly household cleaning products, from its beginnings as a catalog company through its evolution into a leading “green” company. Mintz also represented the company in its sale to Unilever.

Mintz has served as national transaction counsel for over 20 years for a Fortune 250 company that is a leading provider of kidney care. Mintz attorneys handle corporate, health care regulatory, employment, litigation, tax, and other related issues for transactions across the country.

Mintz led a heavily negotiated settlement that enabled a large health care system to acquire a hospital and physician group. The joint Department of Justice, state Attorney General, and state agency investigation included a “second request” in accordance with the Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) Act.

Mintz guided a Fortune 50 corporation through a joint investigation by the Federal Trade Commission’s Bureau of Competition and Bureau of Consumer Protection that included civil investigative demands and hearings. The corporation’s merger was preserved, and none of its actions was challenged.

Mintz is leading a NYSE company’s defense in US criminal price-fixing cartel investigations and a US class action with nearly two dozen codefendants. Mintz is also coordinating with non-US counsel on related foreign actions regarding the alleged international cartel.
