Offers & purchase agreements
Review and negotiation of letters of intent, asset or ownership purchase agreements, and related transaction documents.
Healthcare transactions & practice acquisitions
Florida healthcare transactions and practice acquisitions.
Legal support for buying or selling a healthcare practice, evaluating an offer, or changing ownership. Understand the business terms alongside the healthcare-specific questions.
How the firm can help
Look beyond the purchase price.
A transaction can affect control, ongoing obligations, and the ability to operate after closing. The legal review connects the agreement with those practical concerns.
Risk allocation
Analysis of representations, indemnity, pre-closing liabilities, conditions, and the responsibilities each party is accepting.
Licensing & payer questions
Identify ownership, licensure, enrollment, and payer-related questions that need to be addressed in planning the transaction.
Closing & transition
Connect agreement terms, required documents, and operational timing, with coordination among the client's other advisers as appropriate.
What to expect
Start at the stage you are in.
You may be evaluating an initial offer, reviewing a draft agreement, or working through a specific transaction issue. The engagement identifies the stage, documents, and work to be undertaken.
Tax advice, valuation, financing, and specialist opinions may require separately engaged professionals. Licensing and payer matters must be examined for the particular transaction rather than assumed to transfer with the business.
What the work may include
- Comments or negotiated revisions to the agreed transaction documents.
- An issue summary covering obligations, risk allocation, and open questions.
- A checklist of legal documents and coordination points for the agreed stage.
Deliverables depend on the agreed engagement; not every item is included in every project.
Work is handled by Malcolm Freeman, a Florida attorney with business, occupational-therapy, and healthcare-administration training. Meet your attorney.
Common questions
Before we begin.
Can I request a review before signing a letter of intent?
Yes. Early review can help you understand the proposed terms and identify issues that deserve attention before you make commitments.
Can you help with one part of an acquisition?
A defined review or project may be appropriate. The firm will discuss how its role fits with the other people advising on the transaction.
Do you provide tax or valuation opinions?
Those services are outside the firm's standard transaction offering. Where needed, the work is coordinated with separately engaged tax, accounting, valuation, or other professionals.
Your next step
Let’s talk about what you need.
A continuing relationship or a focused project starts with a conversation about your needs, timing, and the appropriate scope of work.
