Healthcare and dental industry executives, practitioners, and investors seek platforms that offer substantive, current perspectives on the business and legal trends shaping their fields. Podcasts hosted by specialized publications have become a significant forum for this kind of professional exchange, reaching audiences navigating decisions about practice structure, transactions, staffing, and regulatory compliance.
Mandelbaum Barrett PC Managing Member William Barrett was featured on a Becker’s Healthcare podcast, sharing his perspective on legal and business topics relevant to the healthcare and dental industries. Barrett leads the firm’s dental law practice and advises healthcare organizations, dental service organizations, dental groups, and individual practitioners on the legal matters that affect their businesses and practices. Becker’s Healthcare is a leading publication serving the healthcare industry, and its podcast programming reaches a professional audience of practitioners, administrators, and industry stakeholders nationwide.
Legal Issues at the Intersection of Healthcare and Business
The healthcare and dental industries operate at a complex intersection of regulatory requirements, business considerations, and professional obligations. Transactions involving healthcare practices — including acquisitions, mergers, affiliations, and joint ventures — require compliance with both general corporate law and industry-specific regulations governing the corporate practice of medicine and dentistry, healthcare licensure, and, in some cases, antitrust considerations.
Staffing and employment are also areas of persistent legal focus for healthcare organizations. Non-compete agreements, scope of practice issues, credentialing requirements, and employment classification questions all arise in healthcare and dental settings and require guidance that accounts for the industry’s regulatory context. Organizations benefit from legal advisors who understand both the transactional mechanics and the regulatory environment in which they operate.
Private Equity and DSO Activity in Healthcare
Private equity investment in healthcare and dental practices has accelerated significantly, bringing both opportunity and complexity for practice owners and healthcare professionals. Dentists and healthcare practitioners evaluating sale or affiliation transactions with private equity-backed groups benefit from legal representation that can assess deal structures, compensation arrangements, non-compete provisions, and post-transaction obligations with the depth these transactions require.
According to the American Medical Association, private equity investment in healthcare practices has expanded rapidly, raising important questions for practitioners about ownership structures, professional autonomy, and long-term career options that legal advisors can help practitioners evaluate before they commit.
