Lincoln International, a leading global mid-market investment bank, announced that it has launched a new practice focused exclusively on serving the healthcare industry.

To lead this practice, the firm has appointed one of the premier healthcare investment banking teams in the United States. These seasoned healthcare bankers will enable Lincoln International to offer a dedicated team that provides informed, creative and value-added healthcare M&A advisory services to clients around the world.  

Shahab Fatheazam, a veteran investment banker with more than 20 years of experience representing healthcare companies in the United States, Europe and Asia, will serve as managing director and head of Lincoln International's healthcare group. As managing director, Fatheazam will formulate and execute upon the strategic direction of the group, identify prospective deals and manage key client relationships.

Joining Fatheazam are Tony Crisman and Ross Gordon, who will serve as vice presidents. Fatheazam, Crisman and Gordon were formerly with GCA Savvian Advisors and bring nearly 10 years of experience working together and more than 40 years combined healthcare expertise. The team will add substantial knowledge and global experience in healthcare M&A to Lincoln International's already strong international, multi-industry footprint.

"Lincoln International strives to provide excellent advice and services to clients across a broad spectrum of industries in each of the world's key economies," said Jim Lawson, chairman of Lincoln International. "The addition of a dedicated, U.S.-based healthcare team with extensive industry expertise, contacts, perspective and cross-border experience is very timely. With the new healthcare paradigm currently being finalized by the U.S. Congress, we anticipate significant increases in healthcare M&A, especially in the United States. Moreover, many of our existing clients in industries such as business services and chemicals currently touch the healthcare space, and this will enable us to strategically support their healthcare M&A needs."

Lincoln International's strategic focus on the healthcare industry demonstrates its commitment to serving clients more broadly, as well as its ability to respond to and leverage changing market dynamics. Current industry trends, including consolidation in the pharmaceutical and life science industries, medical technology innovations, changes to the diagnostic and research tools industries and the globalization of the services sectors, have made healthcare an increasingly viable area for M&A activity.  Lincoln International's healthcare group will place a special focus on serving the diagnostic, medical technology, pharmaceutical outsourced services, research instrument, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, managed care and health and wellness subsectors.
