Dental Industry
Dentists encounter many opportunities and challenges as they operate and grow their dental practices. These challenges are magnified by a rapidly-consolidating market faced with ever-changing state and federal regulations. More and more dentists are contracting with Dental Support Organizations (DSOs) to provide non-clinical support to their practices, allowing the practitioner to focus on providing quality care to patients.
Parsons Behle & Latimer has extensive experience counseling dental practices and DSOs throughout the United States on the complexities of forming practices and DSOs and the varying commercial, regulatory and other legal obstacles they face. We are equipped to assist solo practitioners, group practice dentists and DSOs in a variety of matters, including:
- Forming Dental Practices and DSOs
- Buying and Selling Dental Practices and DSOs
- Dentist Buy-In Agreements
- Dentist Employment Agreements
- Practice Financing Issues
- Contract Negotiation and Preparation
- Trademark Protection
- HIPAA and Other Regulatory Compliance
- Governmental Investigations and Litigation
