Background

About Sarah Dowling

Practicing in both Rhode Island and Massachusetts, I counsel privately held businesses and their shareholders on acquisitions, divestitures, financings, business succession, governance and other corporate matters. I have also represented lenders and borrowers in complex financing transactions. My clients include major Rhode Island-based manufacturing and service businesses, real estate holding companies, U.S. subsidiaries of foreign corporations and financial institutions. Further, I am frequently called upon by national banks and other financial institutions to render legal opinions on financing transactions. For my healthcare clients, I have formed single-specialty and multi-specialty medical practice groups, represented non-profit hospitals in affiliations with both non-profit and for profit health care groups, negotiated office building acquisition and financing, performed analysis of Stark and anti-kickback concerns, physician-employee employment agreements, and buy-in and buy-out of physician owners. I also advise high net-worth families on a daily basis with respect to governance, succession, legal aspects of private placement investment opportunities, aircraft purchases and various commercial transactions.
