About the Firm
A boutique healthcare and corporate practice with department-level breadth — led by Yazen “Yaz” Dides, a Florida attorney with an LL.M. in Taxation.
Yazen "Yaz" Dides is a healthcare attorney whose practice spans the full breadth of healthcare law — regulatory compliance, corporate and transactional matters, tax structuring, day-to-day operations, labor and employment, reimbursement and managed care, digital health, real estate, and government investigations.
The practice functions as outside general counsel for healthcare clients — spanning the federal and Florida regulatory perimeter (Stark, the Anti-Kickback Statute, HIPAA, Medicare and Medicaid billing, Florida's corporate practice of medicine doctrine, and AHCA/DOH licensure), the full transactional lifecycle from formation through exit, and the audits, investigations, and enforcement defense that come with a regulated industry.
AHCA licensure, CPOM enforcement risk, HCCA assignments, the MSO/PC friendly-PC structure Florida regulators have gotten more sophisticated about — that's the daily water I swim in.
Yaz represents private equity funds and investors, physician groups and platforms, MSOs, ambulatory surgery centers, DSOs, behavioral health and DMEPOS companies, hospitals and health systems, and healthcare nonprofits. He has led or co-led transactions exceeding hundreds of millions of dollars in aggregate deal volume, guiding clients through the full M&A lifecycle on both buy-side and sell-side engagements.
A dual background in corporate and tax law informs his approach to deal structuring, recapitalizations, and equity rollovers. Beyond discrete engagements, the practice serves as outside general counsel to select healthcare operators — based in Sarasota and serving clients across Florida, with engagements nationwide where deep Florida healthcare regulatory fluency is required.
