When should I hire a Dental Attorney for a practice sale or purchase?

Before signing a letter of intent (LOI) or term sheet.

Even “non-binding” LOIs often lock in critical economics such as price, structure, exclusivity, and timelines. Once signed, your negotiating power drops. Engaging a dental transaction attorney early allows you to:

  • Shape the deal instead of reacting to it
  • Avoid unfavorable structures
  • Identify hidden risks

Early involvement almost always leads to better pricing, cleaner terms, and fewer surprises.
