Medical & Dental Practice Lawyers

OUr Approach

Running a Practice and Running a Business

Running a clinical practice means running two things at once: a licensed profession and a business. That is as true for a veterinary hospital as it is for a dental office or a medical group. The business side has its own requirements. Professional corporations have governance rules of their own. Associates need contracts that protect the practice. And when it is time to sell, the transaction has to account for licensure, patient or client relationships, and the value locked in the practice.

Villasenor Law Offices provides business counsel to practice owners across clinical disciplines, including medical, dental, veterinary, and chiropractic practices, on the corporate, contract, and transactional side of running a practice.
