Brach Eichler LLC is pleased to announce that Caroline J. Patterson, Member and Vice Chair of the firm’s Healthcare Law practice, will be a featured panelist at the William L. Goldfarb Foundation 54th Annual Goldfarb Clinical Conference. The conference takes place November 5 – 8, 2026, at the Hilton Philadelphia City Avenue.
On Saturday, November 7, 2026, Caroline will join Curalta Foot + Ankle for an informative Lunch & Learn presentation focused on “Practice Sales.”
Navigating the sale or consolidation of an independent medical practice requires strategic planning, thorough regulatory review, and practical transactional foresight. Bringing more than 25 years of legal experience counseling healthcare practices through mergers, acquisitions, sales, and private equity investments, Caroline will share actionable legal and commercial insights designed for practicing podiatrists at every stage of their careers.
Key Topics Covered in the Presentation:
-
Evaluating the Drivers for a Sale: Understanding the timing and strategic motivation behind a transaction, from senior practitioners formulating an exit plan to mid-career and younger physicians seeking relief from administrative burdens, rising overhead, billing complexities, and risk management pressures.
-
Exploring Transactional Pathways: Assessing the advantages, trade-offs, and structural considerations across various buyer models, including private equity-backed platforms, health systems and hospitals, multi-specialty practices, and peer-to-peer physician transitions.
-
Benefits of Group Integration: How joining an established platform can offer leverage in reimbursement negotiations, operational scale, consolidated administrative services, and expanded ancillary clinical capabilities.
-
Addressing Critical Physician FAQs: Direct answers to common concerns regarding clinical autonomy, staff retention, physician scheduling, and day-to-day workflow post-transaction.
Whether exploring an immediate transition or evaluating long-term practice sustainability in an evolving market, attendees will gain valuable perspectives on protecting value and achieving their clinical and personal objectives.
