Physician practice acquisitions carry a regulatory layer that standard business transactions do not. Corporate Practice of Medicine rules, Medicare and Medicaid provider number transfers, Stark Law compliance, and payor credentialing timelines all affect whether a deal closes cleanly and the practice keeps running. Our Beverly Hills medical practice attorneys guide physicians buying and selling practices across Entertainment, Real Estate, Finance and the healthcare sector, with Managing Partner Alex Lubyansky personally involved in every engagement.

A structured, methodical approach to medical practice acquisition law
We assess the CPOM posture, Stark and AKS exposure, CON requirements, and Medicare and Medicaid provider number transfer mechanics for your specific transaction before any term sheet is signed.
Managing Partner Alex Lubyansky structures the acquisition to respect CPOM limits, optimize risk and tax treatment, and where needed designs an MSO or friendly-PC arrangement that preserves clinical independence while delivering the economic deal.
We conduct diligence across payor contracts, Medicare and Medicaid enrollment, compliance program maturity, malpractice history, physician employment agreements, and patient volume concentrations to surface risks before closing.
We negotiate the purchase agreement, physician employment or non-compete terms, transition services arrangement, and earnout provisions tied to clinical performance metrics specific to the practice type.
We coordinate CHOW filings, payor credentialing timelines, and post-closing integration to ensure patient care and reimbursement continue without interruption from day one of your ownership.
We don't take every matter. Here is what happens when you reach out.
Alex reviews your transaction details personally. No intake coordinators, no junior associates screening your submission.
We evaluate whether your deal aligns with our practice. Not every matter is a fit, and we will tell you directly if it is not.
If there is alignment, Alex schedules a direct call to discuss your transaction, timeline, and objectives.
Before any work begins, you receive a written engagement letter with defined scope, timeline, and fee structure. No surprises.

Use these before you call any firm, including ours.
At many firms, a partner sells the work and a junior associate does it. Ask for the name of the attorney who will draft and negotiate your documents.
Volume indicates current, active deal experience, not just credentials from years ago.
A $500K SBA acquisition and a $50M PE deal require different skill sets. Make sure the attorney has handled transactions similar to yours.
M&A transactions require a team. Your attorney should work with your other advisors, not in a silo.
Reps, warranties, and indemnification claims surface months after closing. Ask whether the firm handles post-closing litigation or refers it out.
Ask how the engagement is scoped, what is included, and what factors drive cost increases. Defined scope with a retainer gives the clearest cost picture.

Los Angeles drives M&A activity across entertainment, technology ('Silicon Beach'), healthcare, and manufacturing sectors. The region's massive consumer market and port infrastructure make it a hub for e-commerce, logistics, and consumer products acquisitions. LA's diverse economy supports deal flow across every industry vertical, from post-production companies to aerospace suppliers.
LA's sprawling geography creates micro-markets where deal dynamics vary significantly - a manufacturing business in the Inland Empire trades very differently from a tech startup in Santa Monica. Understanding these sub-market dynamics is critical for accurate valuation.
Los Angeles County alone has over 250,000 employer businesses, and the region's GDP exceeds that of most countries. The entertainment industry's shift to streaming has created significant M&A activity in content, technology, and production services.
California's total prohibition on non-compete agreements (Business & Professions Code Section 16600) fundamentally changes how M&A deals are structured - buyers cannot use non-competes to retain key employees, making earn-outs and retention bonuses critical deal terms.

Top Industry Concentration
Los Angeles M&A activity is shaped by the intersection of entertainment and media, technology, and trade. The ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach together form the busiest container port complex in the Western Hemisphere, driving logistics and supply chain deal activity. Entertainment industry consolidation, streaming platform acquisitions, and tech-adjacent deals are consistent drivers of mid-market and large-cap M&A in this metro.
LAX is the second-busiest US airport by passenger volume. Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach handle roughly 40 percent of US containerized imports. The metro is a critical transpacific trade gateway.

"Non-binding is just a phrase. It does not guarantee a frictionless process down the line. An LOI can absolutely structure the entire future of a deal even when the document explicitly says non-binding. If counsel comes in later in the game, the LOI is already there, and parties will anchor to it. Whether or not you were involved in the drafting. Whether or not you were involved in the negotiation. They will anchor to that document. And when deals blow up, fingers get pointed at the LOI's terms. The phrase non-binding sets a buyer's expectations. The substance of the document sets the deal. Those two things are different, and the gap between them is where deals get expensive."
