Associate contracts are actually a HUGE deal that we do not give enough attention to...
How long can your principal keep your retention for?
Is it really true you cannot work within a certain radius?
How principals and associates may be getting screwed over by the poor contract!
Finding the right principal/associate is very exciting, so much so that we sometimes forget how important it is to read through the small print of our contract.
This can prove very costly in the future in our industry where mistakes do happen, so it is extremely important to be aware of what we are signing up for.

Jaz's Introduction: If you're an associate, when you joined the practice, did you read and did you understand your contract? And if you're a principal, do you actually understand the contract that you're giving to your associate?
Jaz's Introduction:Look, something I make very clear in this episode is that I'm a man of trust. I'm not the biggest fan of forms and contracts.
I don't really think any of us are, right? My biggest currency is trust. However, in this day and age, unfortunately Protruserati, trust is not enough. We need everything backed by writing and unfortunately a huge takeaway of this podcast will be that contracts are super super important to the letter. So it is my duty to make contracts tangible.
In this episode joined by Sarah Buxton and Dr. Neel Jaiswal. Sarah is representing the legal side and Neil's representing the medical legal side. So together we're going to make dental contracts tangible for you. Everything from what is a fair retention fee to withhold from an associate after they stop working to who should be paying to get a contract checked.
This one actually might surprise you actually. So who should be paying? Should your contracts be checked?
