What you will learn:

This webinar is a primer session on the critical stages and considerations involved in healthcare transactions. Beginning with the early stages of a transaction, participants will learn about the importance of preliminary discussions, due diligence, and the drafting of key pre-transaction documents such as Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) and Letters of Intent (LOIs). The session will also cover the complexities of deal structuring, including the impact of tax, antitrust, licensure, and HIPAA considerations, and the roles of both in-house and outside counsel in navigating these issues.

The webinar will give an overview of the negotiation and management of essential transaction documents, such as purchase and operating agreements, highlighting the importance of financial covenants, restrictive covenants, and indemnification provisions.  Finally, participants will gain insights into post-closing considerations, such as tracking indemnification periods, ensuring compliance with post-closing covenants, and preparing documentation for future reference.

  2. Learn how to navigate the complexities of structuring healthcare deals while adhering to industry regulations.
