Assistant General Counsel & Director of Tax and Securities Compliance · Dental Pitch Brokerage
The legal infrastructure behind every Dental Pitch transaction — built on AmLaw 100 experience, advanced tax credentials, and three active bar admissions.
Herb Brown is a licensed attorney in three states — Illinois, Georgia, and Louisiana — with a career that spans AmLaw 100 corporate and tax law, law school professorship, civil rights leadership, and private equity legal counsel. He holds three degrees, all earned with honors, including an LL.M. in Taxation from the University of Florida — one of the most advanced legal credentials available in transactional law.
At Dental Pitch Brokerage, Herb is the legal infrastructure that protects the firm throughout the entire sale process. He manages all corporate, securities, and compliance matters and ensures that every deal Dental Pitch closes is built on terms that are legally sound and financially defensible.
Most dental brokerages do not have an attorney with securities law, IPO experience, and tax controversy expertise embedded in the team. Dental Pitch does. That is the legal layer that separates an advisory firm from a listing service.
As Assistant General Counsel and Director of Tax and Securities Compliance, Herb provides the full legal backbone of every Dental Pitch transaction.
He brings AmLaw 100 experience, advanced tax credentials, and three concurrent bar admissions — ensuring every deal closes on terms that are legally sound and financially defensible.
When the buyer's legal team is reviewing your deal, Herb Brown is reviewing it too — from your side of the table. That is what legal protection in a dental practice sale actually looks like.
Dentists trust Herb because he brings the kind of legal depth that most brokerage firms simply do not have — and because that depth is working for the firm on every transaction.
AmLaw 100 Foundation
Herb began his legal career at Jenner & Block LLP in Chicago — consistently ranked in the AmLaw 100. There he handled private offerings, IPOs, M&A due diligence, securities compliance, and IRS controversy matters. That is not a general legal background. That is the exact expertise required in high-value dental practice transactions.
Advanced Tax Credentials
Herb holds an LL.M. in Taxation from the University of Florida Levin College of Law — one of the most advanced legal credentials available in transactional law. His tax fluency covers corporate tax, partnership tax, international tax, and M&A structuring.
Three Active Bar Admissions
Herb maintains active bar admissions in Illinois, Georgia, and Louisiana — concurrently. That breadth reflects the ongoing rigor of his legal practice and provides the firm with multi-state legal coverage that most brokerages cannot match.
Proven Ability to Explain Complexity
Herb was named Professor of the Year by the student body at Southern University Law Center three consecutive years — 2012, 2013, and 2014. That distinction reflects the ability to make complex legal and financial concepts clear to people encountering them for the first time. That skill matters when a dentist is trying to understand a deal structure they have never seen before.

Dental Pitch Brokerage — Current
Manages all corporate, securities, and legal compliance matters for the firm. Coordinates legal support and oversees compliance across all Dental Pitch transactions.
Dental Pitch Brokerage promises sellers that their transaction will be handled with legal precision, financial rigor, and strategic clarity from start to finish. Herb Brown is what makes that promise credible.
AmLaw 100 Depth — Inside the Firm
He brings AmLaw 100 corporate law experience, advanced tax law credentials, and three concurrent bar admissions to every transaction Dental Pitch handles. That combination does not exist at most dental brokerage firms — and its absence is often where sellers quietly lose value.
Legal Coverage Without Outside Counsel
When deal terms are being negotiated, when due diligence surfaces complications, when tax structures need to be reviewed or defended — Herb is already inside the process. Sellers do not have to hire outside counsel and hope they find someone with the right background. That expertise is already on the team.
Clarity Under Complexity
Three consecutive years as Professor of the Year reflects more than expertise — it reflects the ability to make complex legal and financial concepts clear to people encountering them for the first time. In a dental practice sale, that skill matters.
The Legal Standard
Most dental brokerages do not have an attorney with securities law, IPO experience, and tax controversy expertise embedded in the team. Dental Pitch does. That is the legal layer that separates an advisory firm from a listing service.
Herb lives in Atlanta with his dog, Deogi. Outside of work he stays active through weightlifting and CrossFit, and recharges through travel, football, and tacos.
He is actively engaged with law schools, mentoring recent graduates as they prepare for the Illinois, Georgia, and Louisiana Bar Exams — carrying forward the same commitment to legal education that defined his years as a professor.
