Dentists and dental professionals face complex and unique employment challenges. The attorneys at the Maura Greene Law Group are here to support you as you consider joining or leaving a dental practice or assist you with employment disputes.
- Resolve Pay Disputes:
Dentists often have complex compensation structures. A dentist’s compensation may be comprised of a draw, a percentage of revenue received, based on the number of patients treated, and other compensation models. Pay disputes may arise due to the complexity of these compensation structures. The attorneys at the Maura Greene Law Group can help you navigate and resolve pay disputes and help ensure you receive the compensation you earned.
- Review And Negotiate Employment Agreements:

- The dentist’s compensation
- Where the dentist will work, and if the dentist is required to rotate to different dental locations.
- What costs or expenses the dentist may be required to pay.
- Benefits, insurance, license matters, health insurance, retirement, etc.
- Non-compete provisions, non-solicitation restrictions, proprietary restrictions, and other restrictive covenants.
- Notice and termination of employment
- Duties and other important terms

The Not So Fine Print:
Every case has its unique facts. Before you take any action, you should contact an employment lawyer and get advice on your own situation.
