Business Attorneys for Health Care Practices.

Our Story

Founders Michael Byrd and Brad Adatto were born into the business of health care.

As sons of doctors who owned private medical practices, Michael and Brad grew up immersed in the complexities of physician-owned businesses. These influences led Michael to become a business and health care attorney in Dallas, and Brad to do the same in New Orleans.

Michael Byrd

Their paths collided in 2006 after Brad and his family relocated to Dallas in the wake of the Hurricane Katrina disaster. Brad and Michael began working together, and, not only did their personalities, skills, work ethic, and interests click, they shared a common philosophy of how business law should work—it should be transparent, creative, and focused on the client’s best interests. They founded ByrdAdatto in 2015 with these ideals in mind.

Today, ByrdAdatto is a growing practice with locations in Dallas and Chicago dedicated to the health care industry. We believe physicians and other health care providers need strategic partners who can provide effective business strategies and customized legal guidance through every stage of their business.

Our attorneys have become a national voice, routinely lecturing throughout the country at medical, aesthetic, and legal conferences. Inspired by the reach of training and education provided at conferences, Michael and Brad launched the Legal 123s With ByrdAdatto podcast to help simplify complicated issues that come with owning a successful business.

As we continue to grow, we strive to stay ahead of the ever-changing health care regulatory landscape so we can keep providing our clients with the skilled legal guidance that has made our firm what it is today.

At Skytale, our consulting clients frequently come to us with questions around MSOs, including what they are, whether they need them, and whether they should implement them due to legal or strategic purposes. Our preferred team to work with is the ByrdAdatto team as they know the laws, by state, as well as how to use MSOs as a tool if wanting to strategically grow and scale.

ByrdAdatto has been a trusted advisor since our first location. We would not be where we are today without them. As we pass our 25th location their expertise is still helpful today as it was during our initial meetings.

As a network of over 20 clinics in 15 states, ensuring that our clinics comply with state and federal regulations with regards to CPOM is critical. ByrdAdatto has been an incredible partner, helping us navigate all the state-level intricacies, stay clear of issues not picked up by generalist firms who used to represent many of our clinics, and keep CPP out of trouble. We have been extremely privileged to work with their team and could not recommend a better counsel in this industry.

Our Values

The Lawyer’s Creed governs our ethical conduct as attorneys. We take this responsibility seriously, yet it’s only the starting point in reflecting our character. What gives our firm its character? In a word: values. We demonstrate these traits in everything we do. At ByrdAdatto, we sum up our core values as the “3 C’s”: Communicate, Compete, and Create.

Under Texas law, ByrdAdatto is required to provide the following notice of the State Bar’s grievance procedures. The State Bar of Texas investigates and prosecutes professional misconduct committed by Texas attorneys. Although not every complaint against or dispute with a lawyer involves professional misconduct, the State Bar Office of General Counsel will provide information about how to file a complaint. For more information, please call the toll-free number 1-800-932-1900.

Communicate

Communication starts with listening. Our advice is clear, simple, prompt, and direct to address the concerns expressed by our clients.

Compete

We compete by confronting every issue with enthusiasm, diligence, persistence, and perseverance. We play hard for our clients.

Create

We create by thinking outside the box and finding smarter solutions to our clients’ problems. If there’s a better way to do something, we find it. If there are multiple ways to do it, we choose the simplest, most straightforward solution.
