Recognized in Ones to Watch since 2026
Larry Edwards
Joshua Woods provided exceptional counsel during our complex acquisition of a small outpatient clinic. His dual expertise in healthcare and corporate law was invaluable, particularly when navigating state regulatory approvals and the financing structure. His recognition in these fields is well-deserved. Joshua was thorough, patient in explaining nuances, and clearly dedicated to achieving a sound outcome. While his response time could occasionally be a day or two during peak periods, the quality of his work never wavered. I would confidently recommend him to any business or healthcare entity facing a significant transaction.
