Massachusetts Dental Practice Lawyer – Attorney Brian Hatch

dentalchairBuying and Selling a Dental Practice
Hiring a Dental Attorney is are crucial when buying or selling a dental practice. This transaction presents the parties with a myriad of transitional issues commonly found in most sales of small businesses: new leasing arrangements, inventory transfers, taxation issues, and valuation of the business at present and in the future, to name just a few.  But there are unique issues confronting a dental practice owner and a prospective purchaser of a practice which should be dealt with by the professionals themselves in conjunction with a good business or transactional attorney.

You need a dental attorney who practices in Massachusetts (MA) to consider theses issues and more:

  • Probably one of the most often neglected areas of contracts for the purchase and sale of a practice are the issues involving re-treatment.
  • Certain warranties should be written into an agreement that take into account some of the necessary ongoing responsibilities that a dental practice seller and purchaser must be aware of.
  • How obligations to employees involved in the practice which is being transitioned are met is important both for adherence to state employment regulations, for fulfilling contractual arrangements, and for meeting reasonable expectations of employees who are being terminated or reemployed during a transition.
  • Provisions detailing the potential problem of “successor liability” should be put in a purchase and sale agreement.

Many dentists are presented with “standard form” agreements by brokers or attorneys not necessarily knowing the particular circumstances of the buyer and seller. Customization of these agreements is important to make a transition a successful one.
