Bio

Daniel Fisher is a member of Dentons' Corporate group and is a co-leader of the Mergers and Acquisitions group. He has substantial experience with complex mergers and acquisitions and financial transactions, including transactional services for clients in highly regulated industries. Dan's core practice focuses on strategic initiatives at all stages of a business's life cycle. He also serves as outside counsel to several clients, providing legal advice on their commercial and operational needs and on governance best practices. Dan's transactional practice is diverse, as are his clients. His experience is principally middle-market, but he has served as lead counsel on large, public-company transactions and several closely held company transactions. His experience extends to transactions for profit and non-profit companies. Dan has participated in several roll-up transactions, some of which immediately preceded the filing of an initial public offering of stock. He frequently advises on complex, tax-related transactions for companies, including a variety of transactional strategies involving employee stock ownership plans (ESOPs), tax-free reorganizations, and various tax deferral strategies for sellers (such as 1031 exchanges and opportunity zone investments). Dan is very active in representation of health insurers, health maintenance organizations, and health care providers throughout the United States. He regularly serves as transactional and regulatory counsel for health insurers and providers of health care in their strategic initiatives, including mergers and acquisitions, asset acquisitions, affiliation agreements, joint ventures, clinical integration and innovative payment models, management service organization structures and, more recently, private equity investment in physician practices and other health care providers. Dan provides counsel to companies on debt and capital formation strategies. He advises senior housing companies on multi-family residential loan transactions with Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and HUD. In addition to his provision of services to health care providers and health insurers, Dan regularly counsels manufacturers, restaurant and hospitality clients, franchise systems, construction companies, real estate developers, energy producers, and coal and natural resource companies. Dan is recognized by his peers and leading industry publications as a leader in Kentucky in corporate/mergers and acquisitions and health care.
