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.

How much is it going to cost you to hire a lawyer to help you buy a dental practice? ashley Garbe Smith with AGSDentalLaw.com and I will give you the EXACT numbers to expect right at the top of the show and walk you through some of the variables that can change that number.
There’s more to it than just sticker price, though. Should you choose a flat-fee or hourly attorney? What if you’re working on a deal, and things fall apart - do you still have to pay?
And perhaps the most important question of all: what exactly do you need to know so you don’t get totally screwed on your final bill from your attorney? We’ll talk you through it all here.
