Hiring a dental attorney to help with your transition is one of the smartest decisions you’ll make buying a dental practice. But what about AFTER the deal is done? What else will you need an attorney to do in your career?
Ashley Garbe Smith with AGSDentalLaw.com and I talk through the most common scenarios that will come up in your life and career as a dental practice owner where you’ll need an attorney. We’ll cover three questions for each scenario along the way: 1) do I really need an attorney here? 2) Does the attorney need to be dental-specific? 3) Should it be the same attorney that helped with my practice purchase?
Ashley gives us the roadmap to understand how best to think about the legal needs you’ll have after you’re a busy, successful business owner.

We’ll include the most common areas buyers forget about and how to avoid costly mistakes. And we’ll teach you where best to negotiate.
After listening to this episode you’ll know who is going to help you with the building, why and what to make sure they don’t miss - whether you’re renting or buying the building.

Ever wonder what the attorney is actually going to do for you when you buy a practice? It’s important to know who is doing what, and perhaps more importantly what you shouldn’t expect from your attorney during your deal.
ashley Garbe Smith with AGSDentalLaw.com and I introduce the 3 things you can expect your attorney to do on your deal. But more importantly, we address the concept of DUAL REPRESENTATION in dental transitions and why you’ll never see lawyers act in this capacity. (Seriously...such a no-no).
Ashley gives us some really good nuggets of wisdom with regards to confidentiality, a lawyer’s fiduciary responsibilities, and how to make sure that your interests are being aggressively protected.
