Conciliation meeting before the CDOM: Support from our lawyers for dental surgeons

When a conflict arises in the course of your professional practice, an attempt at conciliation before the Departmental Council of the Order of Physicians (CDOM) is often an essential step.

These meetings are often decisive in resolving disputes related to:

• disputes between colleagues;
• patient complaints;
• or accusations of ethical breaches.

Whether you are the plaintiff or the defendant, our lawyers for dental surgeons provide you with personalized assistance. If you are the originator of the complaint, we meticulously analyze your file to build a solid argument.

Conversely, if you are the target of claims, we implement tailor-made defense strategies to demonstrate your good faith and refute the accusations against you. Before the conciliation meeting, we help you gather relevant documents, draft the necessary notes, and establish a clear action plan.

During the meeting, our role is to clarify legal issues, engage with the parties involved, and ensure your rights are respected at all times. Thanks to our expertise, we maximize your chances of obtaining a favorable settlement, whether through the withdrawal of the complaint, the validation of an amicable agreement, or the initiation of litigation proceedings.

Filing a disciplinary complaint against a colleague: Contact our lawyers for dental surgeons

Dental surgeons may sometimes face situations where ethical breaches are identified within their profession. These cases require rigorous intervention to ensure that professional rules are respected. In this context, our lawyers for dental surgeons support you at every stage of preparing and filing a disciplinary complaint before the professional order bodies.

From the outset, our team analyzes the situation to verify the validity and relevance of the alleged facts. We take charge of drafting the complaint project, ensuring that each factual and legal element is presented with clarity and precision. This phase is essential to build a solid case, capable of convincing the disciplinary bodies of the merits of your approach.

Beyond drafting, we also provide comprehensive assistance throughout the disciplinary procedure. Our firm represents you before the competent authorities, highlighting the essential arguments to ensure serious consideration of your claims.

We ensure that your rights are fully respected, while anticipating any objections or challenges from the opposing party. Whether you are a victim of an ethical breach or a witness to an inappropriate situation, we adapt our approach to the complexity of each case.

Lawyer for dental surgeons to defend you against sanctions from the National Disciplinary Chamber

Being sanctioned by a simple reprimand, a temporary suspension or a permanent removal can be a traumatic event for any practitioner. Disciplinary sanctions imposed by the First Instance Disciplinary Chamber can thus seriously harm your reputation and your career. They can compromise your right to practice as a dental surgeon.

However, it is important to know that a conviction is not an end in itself. The option to appeal allows you to challenge the decision rendered and potentially have it annulled. If you wish to contest a sanction from the First Instance Disciplinary Chamber, our lawyers for dental surgeons remain by your side to file an appeal.

Our assistance begins with a detailed analysis of the facts and the decision rendered. We identify potential legal weaknesses in the sanction. Our appeal strategy includes gathering relevant evidence, preparing solid legal arguments, and highlighting any procedural errors that could invalidate the decision.

During the appeal procedure before the National Disciplinary Chamber, we plead for the annulment or reduction of the initial sanction. This body impartially examines new elements and the arguments we present in your favor. Thanks to our in-depth knowledge of ethical rules and professional obligations of dental surgeons, we maximize your chances of obtaining a favorable outcome.

Whether you wish to contest a disciplinary sanction or prepare an urgent appeal, we are by your side to defend your interests. Regardless of the nature of the fault and the severity of the sanction, our team of business law lawyers does everything possible to protect your ability to practice your profession.

Lawyer for dental surgeons to modify your contract with a private healthcare establishment

If your contract with a private healthcare establishment no longer meets your expectations or contains unbalanced clauses, it is important to react quickly to protect your interests. Our lawyers for dental surgeons, skilled in negotiation and contractual modification, intervene to carry out an in-depth analysis of your current contract.

We scrutinize every clause, whether it concerns financial conditions, reciprocal obligations, remuneration terms, or commitments regarding working time and availability. This audit allows us to highlight aspects that may be a source of imbalance or excessive constraints.

For example, overly restrictive non-compete clauses or excessively demanding performance obligations can negatively impact your activity and professional independence. Once these elements are identified, our lawyers advise you on the best actions to take to modify these clauses in your favor.
We offer you tailored solutions that respect your objectives while being compatible with legal and ethical requirements. It is indeed essential that the proposed contractual modifications respect not only your rights but also the standards of the profession and the regulations in force in the healthcare sector.

Our lawyers act as intermediaries to defend your interests, whether during informal discussions or more formal negotiations with the healthcare facility. We strive to obtain more favorable conditions, whether it be a revision of your remuneration, an adjustment of working hours, or a clarification of reciprocal obligations.

Creating a legal structure for your dental practice: Contact our lawyers for dental surgeons

If you have worked in the public sector or as an employee and now wish to go into private practice, it is essential to choose the legal form that suits your professional, tax, and social needs. Our lawyers specialized in corporate law in the healthcare sector support you in creating a legal structure, taking into account your objectives and the specifics of your activity.

The first step in creating your dental practice is to define your professional goals. Do you want to work alone or with other practitioners? What is the size of your project? What level of financing will be needed? These questions are essential to determine the most suitable legal form.

Our team helps you clarify your expectations regarding structure management, profit distribution, partner liability, and taxation. Depending on your objectives, several legal options are available to you:

• the Société Civile de Moyens (SCM);
• the Professional Civil Company (SCP);
• the Société d’Exercice Libéral (SEL);
• or the Professional Liberal Financial Holding Company (SPFPL).

Each of these structures has advantages and disadvantages in terms of liability, management, taxation, and possibilities for evolving your activity. For example, the SCM is ideal if you wish to share the necessary resources for practicing your activity (premises, equipment, secretariat) while remaining independent.

The SCP is suitable if you want to practice with several people, while remaining a civil structure and if you are ready to share profits and responsibilities. The SEL is a more flexible option allowing you to manage the company under a favorable tax regime, while offering great autonomy for the development of professional activity.

As for the SPFPL, this structure allows a healthcare professional to create a management company, particularly if you wish to associate financial partners with your project. Once the legal structure is defined, our firm assists you in drafting the articles of association of your company to set its operating rules.

Furthermore, we guide you through the registration of your company with the competent authorities and in carrying out all necessary administrative procedures. Our lawyers for dental surgeons ensure that you have all the required legal documents to start your activity with complete peace of mind.
