We work closely with both sides to ensure commercial, cultural and long‑term alignment. This includes practice integration, business planning and growth strategy.

5. Negotiation Support

Guidance throughout the offer, negotiation and decision‑making process. We help refine business plans, manage expectations and support both parties through final discussions.
