Striking the Perfect Balance
When you decide to bring an associate onboard in your dental practice, you must agree on a number of terms including the collection of billings, remuneration, your legal relationship, supplies provided, time commitments, confidentiality, termination and restrictive covenants. From the very beginning of your working relationship, it is important that your associates know their value within your practice. At the same time, be sure you know the market, calculate your bottom line and honour the needs of your practice so you can arrive at an intelligent and reasonable final agreement.

Drafting and Honouring the Agreement
