DENTISTS

Do you wish you had a lawyer who understood the needs of your dental practice? The practice of dentistry comes with its own set of challenges. From pre-paids and re-works to DSOs and the sign on the door, your practice comes with some pretty unique requirements. Pero Law is familiar with the challenges you face. Let us help you as you grow.

At Pero Law, we’re dedicated to helping dentists from the very beginning to the very end of their careers.

If you’re just starting out, we can review your Employment Agreement to make sure there are no surprises.

Once you’ve got some experience and you’re ready to buy into or buy a practice, we can assist by reviewing the “purchase documents” (Stock Purchase Agreements, Buy-Sell Agreements, Membership Purchase Agreements, Stockholder Employment Agreements… you get the picture). We’ll work to make sure that your interests are protected as you proceed to practice ownership. If you’re taking out a loan, we work with your bank/lender to make things go smoothly.

If you’re starting your own practice, we can help with business entity formation and guide you as you find a location, hire employees (Employment Agreements, Employee Manuals), and bring on dental insurance payors and other vendors.

Maybe you’re ready to grow and open a new location. We can help by reviewing lease documents and negotiating with the Landlord on your behalf so you get the best deal possible. If you need to hire additional doctors or staff, we’re ready with Employment Agreements and compensation strategies to fit your needs. Maybe you’re ready to bring on a partner. We can help by drafting purchase documents that reflect the needs of your practice and protect your business.

There’s always the day-to-day questions… did you know that dentists have a separate set of rules when it comes to advertising? We regularly field general business questions that start with the phrase, “Can I [fill in the blank with your most aspirational ideas]?” From billing issues to compliance, let us help you grow the RIGHT way. We’re available when you are: early morning, during your lunch break, in the evenings, or on weekends. If you’re not seeing patients, you’re not getting paid – why hire a lawyer who only works 9-5 weekdays?? We leverage technology to make the lawyer/client relationship easier on you. You’re busy, you’re running a business, and we know you don’t have time to waste.

When you’re ready to retire, we’re here to help you sell your practice as well. If you hired a broker to find a buyer, we coordinate with your broker to make the transition into retirement as smooth as possible. If you found someone to buy your practice on your own, we work with Buyers and Buyer’s attorneys to close the deal on time and as efficiently as possible. At Pero Law we believe in being “deal makers” – we don’t stand in the way or “over lawyer” things – we get the deal done. Pero Law’s approach is to simplify the chaos, allowing you to focus on what’s important.

If you’re ready to partner with a lawyer who understands your dental practice, give us a call. We get it.
