There's more than meets the eye to building a successful associateship. This practical guide offers strategies for tackling both logistical issues - such as the type of associate arrangement, compensation, contract terms, and buy-ins - and intangible ones, including interpersonal considerations and compatibility, developing a practice philosophy, and conducting a goals assessment.

Ideal for either adding or becoming an associate, this valuable book explains:

• Common contract provisions, including compensation; sick leave, disability pay, and other benefits; restrictive covenants and nonsolicitation provisions; financing and income distribution; provisions for dissolution; and many more
• Differences between an employee and an independent contractor, including financial,
interpersonal, and tax considerations
• The phased buy-in/buy-out process
• Considerations for the dentist who is thinking about joining a large group practice

Also includes worksheets for cash flow, break-even and associate compensation analyses, as well as a sample associateship contract.
