Our legal services for dental practice sales include:

• Transaction Structure & Strategy:
  Choosing the right transaction structure is essential. We work closely with you and your tax advisors to evaluate asset purchases, share purchases, or hybrid deals, considering tax efficiency, liability management, and your long-term professional and financial goals.

• Key Negotiation Terms:
  Dental practice sales involve critical components such as holdbacks, representations and warranties, covenants, indemnities, employment issues, and regulatory approvals. Our experienced lawyers handle these essential elements, safeguarding your interests and mitigating risk.
• Holdbacks & Escrow Arrangements:
  To address post-closing adjustments or unforeseen matters, we negotiate holdback provisions and establish escrow arrangements that provide financial protection and streamline the transaction process.
• Due Diligence, Representations & Warranties:
  Comprehensive due diligence ensures you have a clear picture of the practice’s assets, liabilities, and regulatory compliance. We draft and negotiate fair, thorough representations and warranties, reducing the risk of future disputes or liabilities.
• Covenants & Non-Compete Agreements:
  To preserve practice value post-sale, we assist in structuring balanced non-compete, non-solicitation, and other covenants that protect both the buyer’s business interests and the seller’s future opportunities.
• Regulatory Compliance & Licensing:
  Our lawyers navigate licensing transfers, compliance requirements, and regulatory approvals with professional oversight bodies to ensure a smooth and timely transaction without regulatory issues.
• Employment & Staff Transition:
  Transferring staff and addressing employment matters is a critical part of any dental transaction. We provide guidance on employee transfers, employment contract reviews, and compliance with labour laws.
• Conditions, Transitional Services & Working Capital:
  From negotiating purchase conditions to drafting transitional service agreements and ensuring appropriate working capital provisions, we ensure the dental practice remains operational and profitable during and after the transition.
