Alycia Vivona has three decades of experience representing clients in cross-border mergers and acquisitions. More recently, she has been assisting clients as they navigate federal and state healthcare laws and regulations. Alycia prides herself on her ability to explain contract language and legal concepts in ways that non-lawyers can use in their decision-making and to draft agreements that accurately document the business and legal positions taken by her clients.
Representing national and global clients across industries including professional services, healthcare, food and beverage, information technology and transportation, Alycia’s M&A experience encompasses a variety of legal structures, including asset purchases, stock purchases, mergers, divisional sales, minority investments and joint ventures. She recognizes that in M&A transactions, complexity and deal size do not necessarily correlate.
Alycia regularly helps clients document complex commercial arrangements with respect to the provision of services and the distribution, supply and manufacturing of products. Alycia relies on her communication skills to understand and help to formulate her client’s position, and then uses her strong drafting and negotiating abilities to maximize the benefits realized by the client through the ensuing contract.
Her familiarity with healthcare laws and regulations, including fraud and abuse matters such as Stark Law and Anti-Kickback Statute compliance and compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), inform her M&A and commercial drafting advice for healthcare clients.
Alycia’s general corporate practice extends to corporate restructurings, secured lending and intellectual property licensing.
