It is not easy (or cost-effective) finding a lawyer who already understands your professional life and industry, the demands on you as a dentist, your practice environment and values.
Whether you are an employee, contracted dentist, or an owner of a dental surgery business, we have the expertise to assist you in the many personal, professional, and practice challenges you face. Importantly, we also plan, prevent, and manage with you to ensure success and growth in your profession and business.
Whether you are an employee, contracted dentist, or an owner of a dental surgery business, we have the expertise to assist you in the many personal, professional, and practice challenges you face. Importantly, we also plan, prevent, and manage with you to ensure success and growth in your profession and business.
We work with our dentists and practice clients at all stages. Our focus is on supporting and building strong, long-term trusted advisory relationships, which our clients find ultimately more beneficial and rewarding than one-off transactional type engagements.
We understand that you are pressed for time. We know that your profession is demanding. We tailor our legal services accordingly. We are available to advise you before, during, or after busy days in your practice.
Our advice is timely, clear, succinct, and in comprehensive terms. In instructing us, you have the peace of mind that professional fees are agreed at the outset, so there are no surprises.
Our firm is structured so that we manage legal projects and services with our clients in a way that delivers efficient, innovative, and effective outcomes.
In addition to being there when things go wrong, we focus on prevention and best practice. We understand that it is hard to think about the future, but it’s worse if you haven’t. Having robust but straightforward agreements, processes, procedures and plans in place from the outset prevent disputes and unnecessary costs down the track.
