Considering selling your practice? This webinar will introduce Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs) as an appealing alternative to traditional mergers or acquisitions. In a discussion featuring Sheppard healthcare attorneys and the UBS capital ESOP team, we’ll unpack how ESOPs can offer physicians flexible transitions, tax advantages, and continuity of legacy—while helping navigate corporate practice regulations through MSO structures.
You will walk away with:
- Understanding of traditional physician practice sale structures — including important valuation considerations, transaction steps, and common deal pitfalls to avoid.
- Insight into how ESOPs (Employee Stock Ownership Plans) can serve as a powerful alternative exit strategy, including when they’re most effective and how they can benefit both physicians and their practices.
- Critical legal and tax considerations for structuring compliant and tax-efficient transactions, including navigating corporate practice of medicine restrictions and leveraging tax deferral opportunities under IRC §1042.
Physician practice owners, healthcare executives, legal and financial advisors, and anyone involved in planning or advising on medical practice transitions are highly encouraged to attend.
