Conceived and founded by 16 doctors, EPIC4 is a unique entity—a Specialty Partnership Organization where dental specialists can maximize potential at all stages of their life and practice. Forming EPIC4 was something of an epic M&A, involving a merger of 26 dental specialty organizations with a total of 56 orthodontic & pediatric practice locations in 14 states. With Benesch’s guidance, the company successfully navigated pre-, during, and post-merger matters, including everything from ownership and structure decisions to payoffs and transactional requirements to employment contracts and profit-sharing agreements. Next up for the team: enabling ongoing growth as more practices join the EPIC4 partnership.
