Technological Partnership

A trend in healthcare

A technological partnership is a form of long-term cooperation (10 to 15 years) in which the hospital’s technology partner shoulders all aspects of a medical technology, such as imaging technology, laboratories, cardiovascular technology or implants. This type of cooperation, also known as managed (equipment) services, is often driven by the need to raise the quality of hospital care and lower the costs. Technological partnership can be the right solution.

Eversheds Sutherland is market leader in the area of innovative partnerships in the healthcare sector. Our attorneys have unparalleled experience in providing assistance to technological partnerships. In recent years Eversheds has assisted many care institutions and hospitals. Some examples have been enclosed.

We can support your organization in the entire process towards a full technological partnership. Our advisory services include:

  • Creating broad internal support
  • Organizing the selection procedure
  • Drafting the selection documents
  • Negotiating the contract terms
  • Drafting the partnership contract

Our specialists have broad experience with the phenomenon of the technological partnership as they have assisted - and are currently assisting - in creating many such partnerships in the Netherlands. They have been involved in these processes from the outset (creating broad internal support) to the very end (signing of the contract). As a result, they are not only specialists in terms of the related legal aspects, but also hands-on experts.

“Eversheds played an important role in creating our technological partnership with Siemens. They have the gift of forging a bond between the parties even during hardball negotiations.”
