Navigating the legal landscape of dental practice ownership requires sector-specific knowledge and a practical, commercial approach. At Rubric Law, our dental lawyers have deep experience supporting dentists, practice owners, and dental groups at all stages of their careers and business journeys.
We are especially well known for our work in dental M&A, regularly acting on the sale and acquisition of dental practices across the UK. These transactions often involve multiple layers of complexity, including NHS contract transfers, CQC registrations, premises transfers, and employee considerations. Our team guides clients through every step, from the negotiation of heads of terms through to due diligence, completion, and post-sale integration.
We advise on both share and asset sales, helping clients choose the right structure for their deal and understand the implications for tax, liabilities, and compliance. Whether you are selling a single practice, acquiring a portfolio, or navigating a partner exit, our experience in large and complicated transactions ensures you’re in safe hands.
In addition to transactional support, our dental solicitors provide ongoing legal advice to practice owners, including employment law compliance, associate agreements, and contract updates. We understand the day-to-day pressures of running a practice and work to provide clear, efficient solutions that support your business goals.
Our team also advises on property matters, including lease negotiations and freehold acquisitions, working closely with agents and lenders to ensure smooth completions. Where practices are incorporated or operated through group structures, we assist with shareholder agreements, governance arrangements, and exit planning.
As a full-service law firm, Rubric brings together expertise in corporate, commercial, property, and employment law. This joined-up approach is invaluable when handling dental M&A deals, where timing, regulatory knowledge, and practical legal advice are essential.
Whether you’re preparing to sell, looking to acquire, or simply need expert guidance on the legal issues affecting your practice, our dental lawyers offer the insight, experience, and commercial clarity to help you move forward with confidence.
If you have any questions regarding any of our services, please get in touch.
