Associate agreements
Clear terms at the beginning can prevent costly disagreement when an associate joins, changes roles, or leaves.
An agreement should reflect how the relationship really works.
We draft and review associate agreements for practice owners and dentists. The focus is on terms that can be administered in a busy clinic and understood by both parties.
Compensation
Collections or production definitions, adjustments, laboratory fees, payment timing, and access to supporting records.
Day-to-day practice
Schedule, facilities, staff support, patient relationships, clinical independence, and professional responsibilities.
Departure
Notice, patient continuity, records, confidentiality, solicitation, and any proposed geographic restriction.
A percentage alone rarely tells the full compensation story. Definitions and deductions can change the result materially.
