The Bexar County Medical Society periodically honors
chosen physicians who have given much to the medical community in the form of
lifetime service to organized medicine, or have made other significant
contributions to the practice of medicine. Dr. Leah Jacobson has asked that each of you consider and
recommend BCMS physicians whom you believe should be considered for one of
these awards. Obviously, we can’t give awards to everyone, but we would like
to hear from you on who you think should be considered and recognized for
these awards and why. Please send your recommendations to the attention of Steve
Fitzer (steve.fitzer@bcms.org) and
Leah Jacobson, MD (leah.jacobson@att.net) by no
later than Sept. 1, 2017. |

Buying
or Selling a Medical Practice A
Seminar Presented by Mike Kreager, Esq. of
Kreager Mitchell, PLLC Saturday,
September 9, 2017 |
Bexar
County Medical Society Building No purchase or sale of a
medical practice is exactly like another. Your purchase or sale of your
practice will be unique to you. But the process itself, though
daunting, follows a predictable path. It all starts with valuation
– how much is the practice worth? – and proceeds through structuring the
purchase or sale and negotiations to document the transaction and sign the
contract. In this session, attorney Mike Kreager will use a model case
to examine each stage. Michael Kreager has
practiced business and tax law in Texas for 38 years. Mike founded
Kreager Mitchell, PLLC over 20 years ago to address the unique business,
corporate, tax and regulatory legal needs of physician and physician
practices. Mike authored Employment Contracts for Physicians: The
Comprehensive Guide, Second Edition, and “What’s My Practice
Worth? A Comprehensive Guide to Practice Valuations and Sales” both
of which are published and sold by the TMA. His extensive article on
physician covenants not to compete, “The Physician’s Right in §15.50(B) to
Buy Out a Covenant Not to Compete” is read by physicians, attorneys and
judges as the definitive work on the subject. It is available online
and was published in the Baylor Law Review, volume 61, page 357 (2009). Admission
is FREE to BCMS Members |
