Common Legal Mistakes That Can Complicate a Sale (with Dental & Medical Counsel)

Gracen
November 4, 2026

In this special multi-part series, we’re bringing together attorneys from across the healthcare industry to help educate you on the decisions, challenges, and opportunities that come with growth, transition, and long-term planning. 

Every attorney brings a different perspective to the table, and through this series, we hope to give you practical insights that help you better navigate the road ahead.

The biggest obstacles in a business transition often have little to do with the deal itself. From legal oversights to operational and contractual issues, seemingly small details can create significant complications when it’s time to sell. 

On this episode of The Advisor’s Table, Brian takes a seat with Dental & Medical Counsel Founding Attorney Ali Oromchian to discuss these legal issues and how owners can get ahead of them before going to market.  

Key Takeaways for Healthcare Business Owners:  

  • If you’re looking to retire in 1-3 years, get your HR house in order now. HR compliance is important to protect yourself from a lawsuit in retirement.  
  • The LOI serves as a skeleton for the legal documents. Having an attorney review an LOI will save you from frustrations and legal fees down the road.  
  • Start early by picking your advisors. Let this team navigate you over a few years while you prepare to sell.    

“Anyone can review a legal document, but not everyone understands the industry to the point where they can look in between the lines and give a holistic review, ensuring that the deal goes as smoothly as possible.” – Ali Oromchian, Founding Attorney at Dental & Medical Counsel 

Why This Matters for Healthcare Business Owners:  

This episode gives healthcare business owners insight into common issues that can complicate a transition and how owners can proactively address them years before a sale. 

"Everything I did with 7 Pillars was not only thorough, detailed, and well done, it was enjoyable. I really had a great time working with all of them...The peace of mind that I had knowing that every 'i' was dotted and every 't' was crossed and that I wasn't missing something was huge."
Dr. Kelly Toombs, DDSPractice Owner
Dr. Kelly Toombs, DDS
"I can't even imagine doing this process on my own... not only the negotiations way more than paid for itself, but just the process of due diligence—the way that 7 Pillars walked me through due diligence—I barely had to do anything... I highly recommend 7 Pillars. They were phenomenal."
Dr. Hilton Goldreich, DDSMulti-Location Practice Owner
Dr. Hilton Goldreich, DDS
"7 Pillars made sure that we knew what we were getting into, what to expect, and questions we didn't even know to ask and you know they had the answer before we even knew we needed them...I just couldn't imagine doing it by ourselves. I would recommend 7 Pillars to anybody going through this process."
Dr. Jason Montgomery, DDSPractice Owner

"One of the things that really stood out to me was that they were very direct. They were very honest about what the process was going to look like, what our involvement was going to be, and also what to expect."
Alix LaurainCEO
"7 Pillars were not forcing us into the marketplace... they were really willing to value our practice, see if this makes sense for us, and provide us with the information ahead of time. 7 Pillars is to us what we are to our patient... they had the information, I could ask questions, I could do some research on my own if I wanted, but they were the experts."
Dr. Kimber Holmes, DDSPractice Owner
"7 Pillars gave me the whole picture. They understood my practice, they understood the offers, they broke it down to that next level so that I really understood what the deal was. We felt that even towards the end and after our transaction took place that everybody was still there still working to make sure that everything got put to bed... everything was done to a sublime level."
Dr. Joseph GrayPractice Owner
"Once they've got a feel for who you are and what your practice is, they can connect you with the right people. 7 Pillars just went over and beyond what I think anybody else would do to help, and that's what really stands out with them. If I had to do it all all over again, I wouldn't use anybody but 7 Pillars."
Dr. Richard BoatmanPractice Owner
