Member
As Dykema’s healthcare mergers and acquisitions group leader, Craig Woods delivers best-in-class representation to buyers, sellers, and middle-market, private equity-backed sponsors in physician practice management (PPM) transactions. Respected for his legal knowledge and M&A achievements, he facilitates strategic relationships between providers, experienced business people, and new capital in the healthcare space.
Many of Craig’s provider clients have never contemplated physician practice management (PPM) arrangements involving dental service organization, medical service organization, or ambulatory surgical center structures. Drawing on his extensive business and accounting knowledge, MBA education, and experience with various PPM industry players, he helps doctors across a wide range of specialties evaluate those new opportunities and negotiates career- and life-altering contracts that include incentive options for their key employees.
“Within the healthcare industry, the PPM space is so dynamic, and Dykema is at the forefront. Buy-side, sell-side, or sponsor, I understand each stakeholder’s interests and motivation and can get them the result they want.”
