Buying or Selling your Dental Practice

Whether you are looking to either buy or sell a dental practice, Lockharts can assist you throughout the process and our team of solicitors will work hard to ensure that the process runs smoothly.

Our solicitors are experienced in handling practice sales and acquisitions from simple transactions to complex company takeovers. We will guide you through the process and in particular will assist with the following:

  • the negotiation of heads of terms;
  • the negotiation of confidentiality agreements/exclusivity agreements;
  • assistance with the due diligence process as it relates to dental practices;
  • preparation and negotiation of the sale/purchase contract;
  • advice on associated regulatory issues;
  • advice on employment and TUPE issues; and
  • advice on asset transfers, share purchases and associated property transactions.

In particular, where a partnership model is favoured for this transaction, we can prepare dental partnership documentation to reflect your arrangements. Lockharts are top ranked in Chambers for our healthcare partnership work and correctly drafted partnership documentation is crucial in protecting your practice and goodwill in the future.

We recognise that every transaction is different and we can prepare a tailored estimate which reflects your particular requirements.

If you would like some advice or assistance with any of the above please complete our enquiry form and someone from our Team will contact you.
