Independent Sponsor Customer Contract Assignment in Healthcare Services
Independent sponsor counsel for healthcare services, focused on Customer Contract Assignment and the deal mechanics that protect sponsor economics and LP alignment.
Healthcare Services deals in the lower middle market run a specific playbook. Customer Contract Assignment is where the structure either holds or starts to leak.
The typical healthcare services platform sits at $15M to $120M EV with EBITDA in the $3M to $20M range. The thesis runs on roll-up of physician practices and ancillary service lines. Most off-market healthcare deals come through advisors who have seen the structure before. Have one in your call list.
How Customer Contract Assignment actually gets structured.
Identify contracts with anti-assignment clauses, especially in government and healthcare.
Plan the customer communication sequence to protect retention.
Map consent collection against the closing checklist, with material thresholds defined.
Address change-of-control notifications even where consent is not required.
In healthcare services, layer in PC/MSO structuring as part of the Customer Contract Assignment workstream.
Asking every customer for consent. You alarm customers who would have been silent.
"Customer assignment is a sales motion, not a legal one. Lead with operations, follow with paper."Jason Powell · Customer Contract Assignment
The deal is one thing. The capital that opens up after close is another.
After close, the call list for refinancing, recapitalization, and growth equity gets short and known. Jason carries that list.
