This CLE course will provide guidance to healthcare counsel on navigating post-signing and post-closing issues in healthcare transactions. The panel will discuss regulatory approvals, escrow and tax concerns, particularly issues arising under tax-exempt financing; and best practices for overcoming inherent challenges and risks.

Description

Healthcare transactions often are not signed and closed on the same day, partially due to the highly regulated nature of healthcare. The time between signing and closing enables the parties to obtain the necessary certifications, permits, etc., required in a sale or change of ownership.

Although the key deal terms are generally determined prior to signing, there are many tasks that must be completed between signing and closing and will be conditions to closing.

Listen as our authoritative panel of healthcare attorneys examines issues that should be addressed post-signing and post-closing in a healthcare transaction, including mergers and acquisitions. The panel will discuss regulatory and third-party approvals, tax issues that often arise, escrow, agreements covering the transition period, rep andwarranties, insurance, indemnity, post-closing dispute matters, and post-closing obligations.
