Business Contract Negotiation and Drafting

Contracts form the backbone of any business transaction, and poorly drafted agreements can lead to disputes, financial losses, and operational setbacks. Our firm ensures that contracts are clear, enforceable, and aligned with your business objectives. Some of the business contract transactions we assist with include:

Employment Contracts – Establishing terms for hiring, compensation, benefits, and termination.
Vendor and Supplier Agreements – Protecting your business in dealings with third-party service providers.
Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) – Safeguarding confidential business information.

Joint Venture and Partnership Agreements – Defining roles, responsibilities, and profit-sharing structures.

With a focus on minimizing liability and preventing disputes, we draft and negotiate contracts that promote business success and longevity.

Mergers and Acquisitions: Expertise in Medical and Dental Practices

Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are among the most complex business transactions, requiring careful planning, due diligence, and regulatory compliance. Attorney John Athanaselos has particular experience handling M&A transactions for medical and dental practices, assisting both buyers and sellers in structuring deals that maximize value and minimize risk.

For buyers, we conduct thorough due diligence to assess the financial health of the target practice, review existing contracts and liabilities, and ensure compliance with Florida’s healthcare regulations. For sellers, we develop strategies to enhance business value, negotiate favorable terms, and facilitate a smooth transition.

Key considerations in medical and dental practice M&A transactions include valuation of assets, goodwill, and patient base; negotiation of purchase agreements and financing terms; transfer of licenses, certifications, and regulatory approvals; employee contracts and non-compete agreements; and post-acquisition integration and transition planning. With our in-depth knowledge of healthcare industry regulations, we help clients navigate the unique challenges of buying or selling a practice while safeguarding their financial and professional interests.

Business Exit Strategies and Succession Planning

A well-planned exit strategy is essential for business owners looking to retire, sell their company, or transition leadership. We assist clients in structuring exit plans that protect their financial interests and ensure a smooth transition.

Our services include business sales and transfers, structuring transactions for maximum value and tax efficiency. We also assist with succession planning, preparing for leadership transitions in family-owned businesses and partnerships. When it comes to winding down or dissolving an enterprise, our firm helps ensure compliance with legal and financial obligations to close a business efficiently and expeditiously.

Whether you are planning an immediate sale or preparing for the future, we provide strategic guidance to help you achieve a successful transition.
