Dental Practice Transactions
The Dental Practice Transactions Team at Williams Mullen has extensive experience representing dentists, orthodontists, and other market participants in acquisitions and sales of practices and assets. We are adept in providing initial strategy (such as advising clients on how to lay the groundwork for the best price for their practice), devising deal structures that align with our clients’ interests, and discerning and proactively addressing all applicable health care and tax regulations that are implicated in such transactions.
Because our core team of entrepreneurial attorneys has worked together on multiple deals in this space, we are efficient, we know the issues, and we are able to identify potential opportunities that can help to make transactions an economic success for our clients.
In addition to transactions, we can advise dentists, endodontists, oral and maxillofacial surgeons, orthodontists, pediatric dentists, periodontists, and prosthodontists on day-to-day matters related to commercial contracts, employee benefits, real estate, employment law, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), reimbursement, tax, and telehealth.
