Practice Transitions Seminar 2026

Practice Transitions Seminar is organized by Collier & Associates Inc. and will be held on Oct 16, 2026 at Hilton Austin, Austin, Texas, United States of America.

Description:
This seminar offers a comprehensive guide to navigating the complexities of buying or selling a practice, bringing on (or becoming) an associate or junior partner, and related issues. We cover everything from the basics, like “when is the right time to retire?”, to specifics, such as how practices are appraised and how to structure the sale or buy-in to maximize tax benefits. Both buyers and sellers will gain insights into structuring fair transactions, avoiding common pitfalls, and maximizing long-term benefits. Often, both parties attend this seminar together to learn the issues and how they can be fairly resolved. By the end, you’ll have a clear roadmap for successfully managing a practice transition, with a focus on financial, legal, and tax considerations.
