Yes, A Written Associate Agreement Is Worth It For All PartiesAssociate Agreement • February 28th, 2022
If you walk into a dentist’s office on Main Street, USA, you’ll speak with front desk coordinators, hygienists, and the owners of the practice: the dentists themselves. But unlike the employees of nearly every other business in America, those dentists may not have made use of the most basic legal protection available: an employment agreement between the senior and junior dentists. These contracts provide clear benefits to both the owners of the practice and the new dentists fresh out of dental school, but many remain unwilling to spend the time to protect themselves through a written agreement. Some are unwilling to pay a lawyer to draft or review a written contract, while others think it impossible that their business relationship could ever sour. To the contrary, it is well worth it to ensure that expectations are clear and that you are protected in the event the unexpected occurs.
