Whether you’re hiring your first associate, becoming a partner, or structuring a buy-in, the agreement you sign shapes the relationship for years. We help review and structure these agreements so expectations are clear before anyone signs.
Compensation structure, production requirements, non-compete terms, and termination provisions are where most disputes later start. We help practice owners and associates work through these terms before they become a problem.
Bringing in a partner, whether through a buy-in, a future buyout, or a merger of two practices, requires clarity on ownership percentage, decision-making authority, profit distribution, and what happens if one partner wants out. We help structure these agreements around how the practice actually operates, not a generic template.

Yes.
Both. Revisiting an existing agreement is common ahead of a partner’s retirement or a practice sale.
