Dental Legal Advice

Specialized legal advice for dental professionals saves time and money

Typical legal firms do not specialize in the specific needs of dental practices. The attorney's at Strategic Transitions Advisory Group has been managing legal transactions for the dental community for the past 12 years. We have developed a process that is efficient, effective, and targeted. We can adapt legal documents to nearly any situation without creating them from scratch, which can ultimately save you time and money. With years of experience in dental law, we’ll help you avoid issues that may not be initially apparent. Re-writes of contracts and other legal documents can make or break business deals and ends up costing more time and more money in the long run.

A dental practice requires excellent and targeted legal representation to help manage the regular transactions and essential documents that are vital to the business. These can include a variety of legal matters:

• Purchase or sale of the practice
• Employment agreements with staff
• Stockholder buy and sell agreements that ensure the ongoing continuity of the business
• Restrictive covenant agreements that protect the value of the business by restricting where previous owners and former employees can work
• Leases or purchase of property
• Limited liability company agreements (Partnership agreements)
• Retirement
• Equity
• Associate Employment and Development
• Death
• Disability

Sound legal advice can avoid future problems. For example, managing employee relations can have detrimental consequences if not conducted properly and may leave your practice open to adverse claims. You can save thousands in the long run by handling these issues properly on the front end.

You’ll also need income tax and estate planning to meet your future goals and protect your assets from liability and risk. Retirement planning must be included as part of your overall financial strategy. Whether you choose to bring in a new partner, reduce your workload, transition your practice to an associate, or enter into another type of business arrangement, we will make sure that all agreements are fair, structured, and that the value of your business is maintained. The goodwill of your practice is your most important asset.

The Strategic Transitions Advisory Group offers coordinated services so that your transition, financial and legal needs are integrated. For more information, contact us at 800-603-5062.
