Tom Knapp helps businesses navigate mergers, acquisitions, and other complex transactions with practical advice and creative solutions. He has extensive experience in healthcare M&A, guiding clients through the purchase and sale of behavioral health companies, durable medical equipment companies, pharmacies, medical groups, home health agencies, hospices, and other healthcare-related businesses. Tom understands the unique challenges of healthcare deals—regulatory hurdles, operational concerns, and financial risks—and works closely with clients to get deals closed smoothly and efficiently.
Beyond healthcare, Tom advises companies across various industries on general M&A, corporate governance, business formation, corporate finance, and real estate. He negotiates and drafts everything from purchase agreements and merger documents to loan agreements and operating contracts, ensuring clients have the right legal foundation for success.
Tom works with business owners, executives, and private equity groups at every stage of a transaction, from due diligence to closing and beyond. Whether he’s structuring a complex deal or helping a startup get off the ground, his focus is always on practical, business-minded solutions that help clients grow while managing risk.
Outside the office, Tom enjoys spending time with his wife, Cassidy, and their two kids, usually outdoors or at the family cabin in New Mexico.
