Post-Close Governance Counsel for Healthcare Services Acquisitions
When the deal is healthcare services and the question is Post-Close Governance, the structure decisions in the first 30 days outlast the next five years. This is where Jason Powell works.
An independent sponsor closing healthcare services transactions in the $15M to $120M EV range has a defined set of moves at the Post-Close Governance stage. Most of them are not in a generic M&A textbook.
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 Post-Close Governance actually gets structured.
Build a board with sponsor majority, one LP-elected seat, and one independent.
Define LP protective provisions narrowly, focused on dilution, exit, and related-party transactions.
Set information rights at monthly financial and quarterly board-level updates.
Plan the annual budget approval cadence so the sponsor can run the business.
In healthcare services, layer in PC/MSO structuring as part of the Post-Close Governance workstream.
Negotiating governance like a fund LPA. independent sponsor governance has to be lighter and faster.
"Governance design decides whether the operator runs the company or files reports."Jason Powell · Post-Close Governance
The deal is one thing. The capital that opens up after close is another.
The capital that opens up post-close, from refinancing to growth equity to strategic exit, runs through a small set of Wall Street relationships. That network is built in.
