Dentists work in a framework unlike any other. Not only are they regulated by the General Dental Council, but also work within a strict set of legislative guidelines. NHS dentists and those with mixed practices also have to contend with a weight of NHS legislation in relation to GDS and PDS contracts and EU procurement rules.
We are experienced in guiding dentists through the minefield. For example, we regularly advice our dental clients on:
- The impact and intricacies of GDS, PDS contracts and contracts for DwSI
- Incorporation as a dental body corporate and the transfer of the practice assets
- Commercial expansion strategies - from a taxation, legal and commercial point of view
- The management and negotiation of contracts and other agreements including:
- Practice plans
- Associate agreements
- Deeds of Association and expense-sharing agreements
- Partnerships
- Disputes - advice, negotiation and representation
- Partnership and Associate Disputes
- Contract and UDA clawback disputes with the PCT, the Department of Health and appeals to the Family Health Service Appeal Unit
