Your lawyer should not only be experienced in general commercial transactions law but there are major and serious healthcare statutes such as Stark and Antikickback laws that affect selling or buying a practice unlike the transactions for selling or buying a run-of-the-mill business; your attorney should therefore have solid knowledge and experience in selling or buying of dental and medical practices.
In many transactions your lawyer may also be your advocate and negotiator in negotiating the business terms including the purchase price, the transition period, and any compensation paid to the selling dentist or doctor during that period.
