The webinar will provide an overview of antitrust enforcement as applicable to physician practices.  Specific topics will include the antitrust agencies’ new merger guidelines and how they will apply to acquisitions of physician practices, antitrust scrutiny of private equity “roll-up” strategies, and the evolving approach to antitrust enforcement concerning non-compete provisions.

The healthcare landscape is rapidly evolving, with consolidation, strategic partnerships, and private equity investments becoming increasingly common. In this complex environment, antitrust enforcement plays a pivotal role in ensuring fair competition and preventing anticompetitive practices that could ultimately harm patients and stifle innovation.

This webinar provides an invaluable opportunity to gain a comprehensive understanding of the key antitrust issues and regulatory developments impacting physician practices.

Moreover, the webinar will shine a light on the heightened antitrust scrutiny surrounding the proliferation of private equity "roll-up" strategies in the healthcare sector. As private equity firms seek to capitalize on lucrative investment opportunities, their acquisition strategies have come under intense regulatory scrutiny. Attendees will gain insights into navigating this complex terrain while ensuring compliance and mitigating potential risks.

Additionally, the evolving approach to antitrust enforcement concerning non-compete agreements will be explored in depth.
