NJDA and our legal counsel, Mandelbaum Barrett, have teamed up to offer NJDA members a free course at the Greater New York Dental Meeting.

Navigating associate dental agreements and contracts can be a complex process, with significant implications for both junior doctors and dental practices. This presentation aims to clarify the key aspects of associate agreements, offering perspectives from both sides of the negotiation table. Attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of essential contract elements, including compensation structures, restrictive covenants, and the distinction between employee and independent contractor status. Additionally, the program emphasizes the importance of meaningful conversations prior to signing any agreement, ensuring alignment on key issues such as mentorship, practice profile, and future partnership opportunities.
