BMD Spotlight: Tracy Miller

Blog Post

At BMD, we take pride in our dedicated team members, who consistently make a lasting impact on our clients. This month, our professional spotlight is on Tracy Miller, a skilled paralegal who focuses on healthcare and corporate law. Her recent contributions to two significant deals demonstrate the powerful impact our professionals have on client success.  

“For me, working with clients is about building trust – listening closely, navigating the regulatory hurdles together, and finding creative solutions that don’t just meet the rules, but bring their vision to life,” Tracy said.

Navigating a Complex Regulatory Hurdle

In a recent transaction, our legal team represented the seller. A potential licensure issue threatened to cause a significant delay in the deal's closing, which was on a tight two-week deadline. The buyer, a large private equity-backed organization working with outside counsel, believed this problem would take at least 60 days to resolve.

Tracy’s deep knowledge of the regulatory landscape was key. She developed a solution that transformed what was seen as a multi-month process into a one-week fix. Thanks to her swift and decisive action, the deal is on track to close on time with no interruption to our client's operations. This success not only secured a win for our client but also prompted additional requests for BMD’s guidance on related matters, reflecting the trust we build through results.

Uncovering Critical Details

In a separate deal, our firm served as local counsel for an out-of-state, private equity-backed buyer. Our role was to focus on specific state licensure issues. However, Tracy's meticulous review and sharp eye for detail went far beyond the scope of our initial engagement.

Her thorough investigation uncovered several critical issues, including trademark, licensure, and corporate status concerns. By discovering these issues early, Tracy enabled our team to provide the client’s General Counsel with necessary guidance and innovative solutions, preventing potential challenges later in the process. The client's appreciation for our comprehensive approach highlights the value of having a dedicated and knowledgeable team.

Tracy’s contributions on both complex deals are a perfect example of how our team works together to deliver exceptional results. Her proactive mindset and attention to detail are invaluable to both our firm and our clients. We are proud to recognize Tracy for her outstanding work and celebrate these achievements!

Ohio’s Statute of Repose: Is it Really a Bar to All Construction Claims?

In response to the increase in common-law claims against architects and contractors brought by third parties who lacked “privity of contract”, many states enacted a construction statute of repose. A statute of repose is intended to forever bar claims for certain injuries or damages after a set period of time following substantial completion. Subject to certain exceptions, the primary distinction between a statute of repose and statute of limitations is that a statute of repose begins to run regardless of whether one is aware of a defect.
