Dental Law
The dental Industry has undergone significant transformation as group practices and Dental Service Organizations (DSOs) expand nationwide. At the same time, privately-owned dental practices continue to thrive and play a critical role throughout the country.
Eskow Law Group has built a strong reputation across the entire spectrum of the dental industry advising dentists, group practices, and DSOs on strategic transactions and practice transitions of all shapes and sizes. With deep experience across thousands of dental deals, our team understands the unique dynamics of the dental industry and how to structure transactions that protect both financial and professional goals.
Who We Serve
We work with a wide range of dental care providers, including:
- Associate dentists
- Private practice owners
- Multi-location dental groups
- Dental Service Organizations (DSOs)
- Dentists preparing for partnership or sale
We take great pride in supporting dental professionals throughout their careers. From the first associate agreement, to becoming a practice owner, to growing and expanding, and ultimately to a successful practice exit and transition, our firm stands with dental professionals through it all.
How We Help
Dental Practice Acquisitions and Sales
Whether buying your first practice, expanding your business by acquiring additional practices or selling your dental practice or multi-location group, our team ensures transactions are structured fairly and in a manner that best protects your financial, professional and personal interests.
Associate Agreements
Employment contracts play a crucial role in dental career development. We help dentists negotiate fair, balanced agreements that reflect their long-term goals.
Growth and Multi-Location Expansion
As dental practices expand into multiple locations, their legal structure must evolve with them. Our attorneys advise on DSO structures, corporate structuring, partnership agreements and expansion transactions.
DSO Partnerships
DSO affiliations can provide growth capital, operational support, and expansion opportunities. Our attorneys guide dentists through the legal and financial considerations of these partnerships.
Buy-Ins and Partnerships
Partnerships can be a rewarding way to own a practice, but it’s critical for the relationship to be properly and thoroughly documented to ensure clarity and success. Our attorneys help guide dentists through the key aspects of partnership, including economics, decision-making and exit.
Real Estate
Every dental practice needs a physical space to be able to function. Our attorneys advise on real estate leases, acquisitions and space sharing arrangements to ensure you have proper access and rights to your physical space.
Maximizing Practice Value
Preparing for a dental practice sale requires careful planning well before a transaction begins.
Our team helps dentists maximize value by addressing:
- Ownership structures
- Practice governance
- Deal readiness
- Negotiation strategy
- Team composition
This proactive approach ensures dentists enter the market from a position of strength.
