McGuireWoods partner and host Geoff Cockrell [https://insights.mcguirewoods.net/email_handler.aspx?sid=blankform&redirect=https%3a%2f%2fwww.mcguirewoods.com%2fpeople%2fc%2fgeoffrey-c-cockrell%2f&checksum=156A792A] invites colleague Amy Cassalia [https://insights.mcguirewoods.net/email_handler.aspx?sid=blankform&redirect=https%3a%2f%2fwww.mcguirewoods.com%2fpeople%2fc%2famy-e-cassalia%2f&checksum=06360F2D] — whose practice is heavily weighted on life sciences transactions — to share insights about the post-closing period of these complex deals. The wide-ranging conversation covers the dynamics of “contingent consideration,” investor risk and buyers’ leverage. Amy explains why she sees high-level use of contingent payments in life sciences deals and why the term “commercially reasonable” often becomes critical when a deal spirals into litigation. Stay tuned as she unpacks leading trends. Top among them? The increasing use of earn-outs.

Episode 131: GP-Led Secondaries in Lower Middle Market, With Chris Lawrence

The secondary market has grown to roughly $220 billion as GPs and LPs scramble for liquidity in a private markets cycle stuck in a “worse distribution profile” for three and a half years. Chris Lawrence [https://insights.mcguirewoods.net/email_handler.aspx?sid=blankform&redirect=https%3a%2f%2flabyrinthcapitalpartners.com%2flcp-team%2f&checksum=2687943F], managing partner at Labyrinth Capital Partners, joins McGuireWoods partner and host Geoff Cockrell [https://insights.mcguirewoods.net/email_handler.aspx?sid=blankform&redirect=https%3a%2f%2fwww.mcguirewoods.com%2fpeople%2fc%2fgeoffrey-c-cockrell%2f&checksum=156A792A] to demystify GP-led secondaries. Chris breaks down continuation vehicles, strip sales and fund restructurings. He explains why secondary pricing ranges from par to as low as 72 cents on the dollar and makes the case that GP-leds are now a mature, institutionally accepted portfolio management tool.

Episode 130: Oncology and Retina: Follow the Drug Spend, With Jeanne Proia

Oncology commands roughly 40% of the national drug spend. Retina is close behind. “If you follow the drug spend, you’ll find that the distributors are really building an ecosystem around it,” says Jeanne Proia [https://insights.mcguirewoods.net/email_handler.aspx?sid=blankform&redirect=https%3a%2f%2fwww.ckcap.com%2fmeet-our-team%2fjeanne-proia&checksum=8D863301], managing director at Cross Keys Capital and president of its healthcare services group. In this conversation with McGuireWoods partner and host Geoff Cockrell [https://insights.mcguirewoods.net/email_handler.aspx?sid=blankform&redirect=https%3a%2f%2fwww.mcguirewoods.com%2fpeople%2fc%2fgeoffrey-c-cockrell%2f&checksum=156A792A], Jeanne unpacks the market. Unlike traditional PE deals, she says, these transactions leave physicians holding their own equity inside a long-term MSO relationship, trading the second bite at the apple for cash upfront and taking the risk off. As she explains: “They’re able to bring a lot more synergies just because they’re getting to be bigger and bigger, and they can use that money to support all the synergies, whether it’s clinical trials, recruiting or RCM.” CONNECT AND LEARN MORE ☑️ Jeanne Proia [https://www.ckcap.com/meet-our-team/jeanne-proia] | LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeanne-proia-b232a57/] ☑️ Cross Keys Capital [https://www.ckcap.com/] | LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/company/cross-keys-capital-llc] ☑️ Geoff Cockrell [https://www.mcguirewoods.com/people/c/geoffrey-c-cockrell/] | LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/in/geoffrey-cockrell-02076110/] ☑️ McGuireWoods [https://www.mcguirewoods.com/] | LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/company/mcguirewoods/] | Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/mcguirewoods] | Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/mcguirewoods_llp/] | X [https://twitter.com/McGuireWoodsLLP] ☑️ Subscribe Apple Podcasts [https://podcasts.apple.com/ph/podcast/the-corner-series/id1597490984] | Spotify [https://open.spotify.com/show/62wDhXTw09oQ6dGDfbJFiI] | Amazon Music [https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/4a022fe7-eb43-446a-b130-a33e5e23ef0b/the-corner-series] This podcast was recorded and is being made available by McGuireWoods for informational purposes only.

How did Allied Digestive Health build a gastroenterology program that’s “second to none” with roughly 200 gastroenterologists across New York and New Jersey?
