David Cohen, an attorney and founder of a specialized law firm in Santa Barbara, California, brings a unique perspective to the legal nuances of dental practice transitions. Growing up in a dental family, with his father being a periodontist, Cohen developed a deep connection to the dental industry, which now propels his career focused on dental business and real estate law. He highlights the considerable differences between private and Dental Support Organization (DSO) deals, noting that DSO transactions are legally more complex and involve longer commitments from selling doctors, often spanning five years, compared to typically shorter terms in private deals. Cohen underscores the importance of thorough due diligence and expert legal advice in navigating the intricate documentation and regulatory compliance required in DSO transactions, to ensure successful and smooth transitions.
