Texas Healthcare Mergers and Acquisitions Attorney

Texas Healthcare Mergers and Acquisitions Attorney

A hospital merger gets blocked. A physician group’s acquisition stalls over a Stark Law violation. A private equity deal dies in due diligence. In today’s environment, even high-value healthcare transactions collapse from preventable mistakes. From overlapping state-federal regulations to misaligned joint venture terms, the legal minefield is real. That’s why every merger, acquisition, or divestiture needs more than a general M&A attorney. 

You need a healthcare attorney that understands how to bulletproof a deal from the first LOI to final compliance audit. At Dike Law Group, our healthcare mergers and acquisition attorneys bring deep regulatory and compliance expertise to healthcare transactions across urgent care chains, specialty clinics, ASCs and health systems in Texas, navigating Stark Law compliance, HIPAA requirements, provider agreement structures and the complex federal and state regulations that can make or break your deal.

Each deal is managed with a sharp focus on Stark Law, HIPAA and Anti-Kickback Statute exposure.

Tailored Solutions for Healthcare Providers In Texas

No two deals are alike and that’s especially true in healthcare. Our Texas healthcare mergers and acquisitions lawyers develop customized legal strategies for ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs), multi-location physician practices, urgent care networks and behavioral health providers. Each plan considers valuation challenges, regulatory thresholds, ownership restrictions and transfer of clinical assets under Texas law. Our work prevents what many first-time buyers miss: delays due to missed CMS enrollment timelines or botched Medicare reassignment forms. We don’t hand over templates. We build solutions that fit your entity, your goals and your timeline.

Our team also helps with complex regulatory issues, including:

  • Compliance with Medicare and Medicaid rules
  • Tax-exempt and nonprofit healthcare regulations
  • State and federal statutory requirements
  • Licensing and credentialing for medical staff

End-to-End Transaction Support

We manage the full M&A lifecycle so nothing falls through. Before LOIs are signed, we flag risks and identify structure options that won’t unravel under federal or state scrutiny. During diligence, we coordinate audits on HIPAA compliance, billing integrity, EMR contracts and corporate governance. 

We help you navigate anti-kickback risk assessments and payer contract assignments. Post-closing, we draft employment and integration agreements, manage rep and warranty periods and set up long-term governance. Each phase is coordinated by healthcare counsel, not just corporate lawyers. 

That’s how our healthcare mergers and acquisitions lawyers in Texas prevent surprises like discovering post-close that your compensation model violates Stark Law, or that HHS blocks a joint venture due to missed notice requirements.

Joint Ventures and Practice Integration

Healthcare joint ventures offer speed, flexibility and shared risk but only when structured right. We advise physician groups, hospitals and MSOs on forming joint ventures that preserve independence while complying with federal rules. 

From management services agreements to JV governance boards, we design frameworks that scale without triggering Stark penalties or FTC flags. 

Our healthcare mergers and acquisitions attorneys help you avoid vague ownership terms, problematic compensation splits and unclear referral boundaries and Mistakes that have derailed many Texas healthcare deals across Texas in the last two years.

FAQ’s

Loader image

MSOs enable non-clinical ownership of healthcare operations while maintaining legal separation from medical decision-making. Essential in Texas transactions.

HIPAA impacts data transfers, patient records, and breach liability. Improper handling during diligence can trigger penalties or block closing.

Skipping due diligence risks hidden liabilities, noncompliance, and regulatory flags—often causing deal collapse or expensive post-closing legal exposure.

Unlikely. Texas healthcare law includes unique rules like CPOM and CON. Local counsel prevents missteps national firms often overlook.
