The Value your Practice Really Holds – Putting the Valuation of Medical Practices in Perspective. Presented by Larry Elisco, Weltman Bernfield LLC
A valuator’s estimate of your medical practice is important, but only a starting point. The valuation exercise is a combination of objective and subjective financial assessment and factors in the emotional aspect of the buyer and seller. Mr. Elisco will discuss both the quantitative and qualitative aspects of valuation to provide a better idea of what truly drives practice value. He will review the main components of value and also illustrate how they are applied in specific types of valuation proceedings, such as:
*Partner buy-ins
*Sale/purchase of practice to an outsider
*Buy-sell agreements
*Buy-in/out of Co-owner
Protecting Your Practice: A Legal Checklist. Presented by Ericka Adler, Kamensky Rubinstein Hochman & Delott, LLP
