Lamb McErlane partner Vasilios J. “Bill” Kalogredis was a guest speaker on the National Society of Certified Healthcare Business Consultants (NSCHBC) Edge Podcast. Kalogredis spoke with Edge Podcast host Terry A. Fletcher on the Private Equity Pro’s and Con’s in the Medical and Dental Space.

Kalogredis specifically discussed the particulars of Private Equity (PE) transactions involving Medical and Dental practices and other healthcare entities. PE is an alternative investment class and is comprised of funds and investors that directly invest in private companies.

Most PE firms invest in companies and then look to sell their stake in 3 to 5 years for a “hoped for” substantial profit. Many physicians and dentists are selling their practices to PE’s so they can focus exclusively on clinical issues, leaving administration and management to others with more expertise. In addition, PE firms can often bring more resources, like human resources, compliance, funds for EMR systems, at-risk payor contracting, and investment in ancillaries, like surgery centers.

How does this translate to the Healthcare field with Medical and Dental practices being courted by PE investors? Listen to the recent NSCHBC Edge Podcast to get insights from healthcare attorney Bill Kalogredis and podcast host Terry Fletcher.

Kalogredis frequently lectures both locally and nationally on health law topics and has published numerous articles on current issues in health law and the business of medicine.

He is AV Preeminent rated by the Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review System, has been named a Pennsylvania Super Lawyer, every year since its inception and as one of Pennsylvania’s Best Lawyers in Health Law.

Kalogredis is Chairman of Lamb McErlane’s Health Law Department. He has been practicing health law for over 45 years, exclusively representing physicians, dentists, group practices, other health care professionals and health care related entities.
