Are you contemplating buying a veterinary clinic or hospital? Consider these tips from our Veterinary Hospital Lawyers

The obvious initial considerations in buying a veterinarian clinic or hospital may be the purchase price and location of the clinic. However, you should also consider some factors that may be less obvious. As experienced veterinary hospital lawyers, we would also ask you to consider the trajectory of the gross revenues that were generated and collected in the recent years, the patient retention rate, the employee retention rate, and the potential future growth or lack thereof are some additional issues that you should consider when buying a veterinary hospital. Our experienced lawyers for veterinary hospitals discusses some potential pitfalls to avoid in veterinary clinic transitions.

Protection Against Liability in Veterinary Clinic Acquisitions –

Protection against past liabilities is a much more important consideration for the buyers than the sellers in veterinary clinic transitions. If your transaction is not properly structured, a buyer may realize too late that there are judgments, lawsuits, and liabilities that occurred when the seller owned the clinic for which the buyer may become liable. Therefore, your transaction should be structured so that the Closing date becomes the cutoff date for past liabilities. Also, thorough due diligence of the selling veterinary hospital should be conducted so that any potential liabilities are flagged and dealt with prior to the Closing.
