Health-Care Transactions Update: April

First quarter deal numbers were inflated by transactions mostly completed in late 2016, so a slight drop off was to be expected, Robert Aprill, of Provident Healthcare Partners LLC in Boston, said.  The uptick in transactions volume that occurred in January has leveled off, and spring is normally a ‘‘dead zone’’ in the year, the investment bankers said.  The list of transactions year to date show that it’s a timing issue, not a slowdown in the market, they added.  Gary W. Herschman, a member of Epstein, Becker & Green PC, who practices in the firm’s Newark, N.J., and New York offices, agreed that the lower numbers in April weren’t significant. The number of deals still was well within the average range for this time of year, he said. Herschman is a member of the Bloomberg BNA Health Law Reporter advisory board.
