This one-of-a-kind, one-day workshop at the Eaglewood Resort in Itasca, IL (Chicago) will take participants from start to finish on how to transition ownership, from both a seller and buyer perspective. The event’s panel of experts will cover such topics as preparing your practice for transition, valuation, transaction design, financing, tax implications, documentation, negotiations and communications.
