Newly Signed Massachusetts Law Ramps up Regulation and AG Liability for Private Equity Investments in Health Care
Private equity firms and health care companies operating in Massachusetts will now face enhanced liability risks following the recent passage and enactment of legislation regulating private equity investment in Massachusetts health care.

AG Jason Miyares’ story doesn’t start in Virginia, but in Havana, Cuba, when his mother, Miriam Miyares, fled communist Cuba, penniless and homeless. A product of Virginia public schools, Jason graduated with a bachelor’s degree in business administration from James Madison University and a J.D. from the College of William and Mary School of Law.
After serving for three terms in the state legislature, he ran and was elected the 48th AG of Virginia in November 2021. He also previously served as a prosecutor in the Virginia Beach Commonwealth’s Attorney Office, where he worked alongside law enforcement to keep the community safe.
Miyares is the first Hispanic American to be elected to a statewide office in Virginia, and the first child of an immigrant to be AG. Since his inauguration in January 2022, Miyares has focused on fighting violent crime and improving public safety, strengthening economic growth, combatting the deadly impact of opioids and fentanyl, and protecting Virginians from corporate misconduct.
Virginia AG in the News:
On January 8, Miyares announced that the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld Virginia’s right to regulate hemp-derived products with intoxicating THC levels, preventing the sale of counterfeit THC products marketed to children.
On December 3, Miyares shared tips to help Virginians avoid charity scams.
