The DVS Group’s Role: Sell-Side Advisory to the Company

The Deal:
The DVS Group was retained by the owner of Monroe Physical Therapy to lead a sale process during a period of consolidation within the multi-clinic physical therapy market. The seller sought to align with a strategic partner that shared a similar vision for growth and patient care. Following a competitive process that included discussions with private equity-backed clinic groups and a hospital system, ATI Physical Therapy was selected as the preferred partner. The DVS Group assisted with all negotiations, including a late-stage structural adjustment that provided a significant tax benefit, secured future employment terms for the seller, and ensured the transaction remained on a feasible timeline.
