SUMMARY:The Good Leasing Guidelines & Negotiating Complex Transactions Presented by Acuity - 5/26/26
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, May 26th \n6:00pm – 8:00pm \n1485 Park Avenue\, San Jose 95126 \n2 CE Units \nDinner Included \nAll Proceeds Donated to the Global Dental Relief Fund \nSeminar 1: The Good Leasing Guidelines for Dental Offices – How to Save Thousands on your next lease renewal and improve the quality of care for patients. \nDental offices are a costly physical plant. When a dentist builds out their practice\, they usually do not think that their landlord could have the ability to prevent them from selling their practice\, relocate them (at their cost)\, or terminate their lease at their discretion. Dentists are oftentimes faced with other lease related issues that directly affect the quality of care provided for patients and the patients overall experience. These can include not enough patient parking\, limited access for patients with disabilities\, and making sure that your landlord is properly maintaining the space to ensure the patients experience is of the highest quality. In Lewis Gelmon’s seminar\, dentists will learn how the value of their dental office is directly tied to having a good lease. The Good Leasing Guidelines for Dental Offices is a fast paced\, interactive educational seminar which will provide dentists with the right knowledge and tools they need when dealing with their office lease and landlord to gain peace of mind. \nSeminar 2: Negotiating Complex Business Transactions for Dentists \nWhether you are leasing dental office equipment\, thinking of selling your practice to a DSO\, renegotiating your office lease with your landlord\, or trying to negotiate more parking spots for patients; having a good understanding of how to best navigate these transactions successfully and without stress is key. Using case studies from Lewis Gelmon’s thirty plus year career negotiating with some of the world’s toughest landlords\, dentists will learn the fundamentals in negotiating complex business transactions and how to undergo them with ease. \n  \nPresented By: \n \n \n
