One of Liverpool’s leading solicitors has been appointed chairman of the lawyers section of the National Association of Specialist Dental Accountants (NASDA).
Ray Goodman, senior partner at Goodman Legal on Rodney Street, will head up the group of specialist dental lawyers, which was formed to work alongside NASDA to make it easier for dentists to select and appoint complementary specialist advisors.
Mr Goodman, who has more than 25 years experience in acting for dentists in practice acquisition and disposal, described NASDA’s membership as ‘a badge of excellence’. He added that two of the group’s main priorities were to develop standard contracts for the buying and selling of dental practices to help to promote speedy and robust sales and also to develop the members’ expertise in this specialist field of legal work.
He said: “The important part of the lawyers group of NASDA is that it is the only UK forum where specialist dental lawyers get to exchange information and experience. The fact it is part of NASDA gives it additional benefit to the accountants and the lawyers involved because there is a huge amount of cross over with the work that they both do.”
NASDA lawyers’ group was formed last year, bringing the total number of dental specialists in the association to more than 50. In order to join NASDA, an accountant or lawyer must demonstrate that they have a thorough understanding of dental practice issues and have enough dentist clients to ensure their knowledge is kept up-to-date.
Mr Goodman added: “By having the formalised legal section, it will enable us to agree to create standard forms of documents, which have been developed and accepted between the members, and also enable us to deal with transactions in a speedy and effective manner.
“And as we are adopting very ridged criteria for new members, we hope it will become recognised as a badge of excellence by the dental community.”
