Course Materials

This CLE course will guide counsel representing dental practices, dental service organizations (DSOs), and investors for evaluating the various transaction structures for buying or selling a practice, conducting due diligence, and meeting regulatory compliance requirements. The panel will also offer best practices for executing dental practice transactions.

Description

Due to unprecedented investment and consolidation activity in the dental industry among dental practices and DSOs, some states have renewed and strengthened regulatory efforts. In contrast, other states have grown more welcoming.

Counsel for dentists, dental practices, and investors must understand the composition of the market and the different transaction structures available to determine which structure is most appropriate for their client's transaction.

Proper planning and structuring are critical to ensuring the success of the dental practice transaction. Counsel should consider several issues--including the corporate practice of dentistry and fee-splitting, HIPAA and fraud and abuse law compliance, and non-compete agreement enforceability--when assessing whether to go forward with the transaction.

Listen as our authoritative panel of healthcare attorneys examines dental practice transaction structures, due diligence issues, and regulatory compliance challenges. The panel will also address integration challenges and offer best practices for executing dental practice transactions.
