Düssel­dorf — ARQIS has provi­ded compre­hen­sive legal advice to the CURA Group on the sale of its two clinic loca­ti­ons in Bad Saul­gau, Baden-Würt­­te­m­­berg. Follo­wing comple­tion of the tran­sac­tion, the MEDIAN Group will take over the Klinik am schö­nen Moos and the Bad Saul­gau acute clinic from CURA, both of which specia­lize in psycho­so­ma­tic acute and reha­bi­li­ta­tion medi­cine.
