Stock Legal has been building relationships with dentists since its inception. We regularly represent dentists in building new practices, buying and selling practices, and building incentive equity programs for associate dentists.
Stock Legal offers specialized legal expertise in the formation and structuring of Dental Service Organizations (DSOs). We typically start with a review of the existing corporate structure, and then move quickly into building out the DSO strategy. That work is typically done for a fixed fee.
Stock Legal regularly assists dentists and DSOs in navigating the complex legalities of managing the practice, employment issues, incentive equity issues, and associated real estate strategies. Additionally, Stock Legal provides strategic advice on growth opportunities through M&A, which are often crucial for business expansion.
Stock Legal LLC has helped hundreds of dentists over the years to build, grow, and scale their organizations, and we are excited to be partnered with Dental Advisors to support hundreds more.

Your relationship with your customers is the lifeblood of your company. While a handshake and a warm smile are important in building trust during the contracting process, well drafted legal documents are necessary to make sure your business is protected (just in case not everyone agrees on what that handshake meant . . . ) Watch to learn more about our Contracting package.
Hiring employees is one of the most critical activities of your start-up or emerging business. Several key documents can help make sure your business is protected when it comes to employees, including a confidentiality agreement, independent contractor agreement, and an employment agreement.

Stock Legal highlights the essential need for formal legal planning when a family farm is inherited by multiple heirs. The critical challenge arises when heirs hold the property as tenants in common, leading to three main points of instability: Liability Exposure, Management Gridlock and a Difficult Exit Strategy. The key benefits of using an LLC include: Asset and Liability Protection, which shields both the farm's assets from an heir's personal debts and the heirs' personal assets from farm-related liabilities; Clear Management and Governance, established through a mandatory Operating Agreement that defines decision-making, profit distribution, and formal buy-sell provisions; and Simplified Estate Transfer, as LLC membership interests are easier to transfer than fractional real estate ownership.
