Dental Practices

Kim Campbell Partner at Thorntons is an exceptional, highly organised, experienced lawyer for dental practice sales. Her attention to detail, knowledge, drive and determination is what makes her stand out in her professional field.
She went above and beyond, working extensive hours, heading and directing a team, with the end goal to successfully deliver my dental practice sale. She could not come more highly recommended and is the full package of personality and professionalism.

My wife and I have just sold our Dental Practice and the service we received from Kim Campbell and her team at Thorntons has been first class. It really felt like ‘service with a smile’ albeit a virtual smile as it was all done very efficiently online.
Even the significant disruption of us bringing completion forward by a month to get ahead of the budget did not upset the proceedings nor the team.
We are really pleased we made the decision to go with local experts and would recommend Kim and Thorntons to anyone thinking of selling their practice without reservation.

Kim Campbell and her team at Thorntons Law have been exceptional in delivering within the tight time schedule the sale of my dental practice. The whole process was well managed and Kim kept me updated during the whole process. It was a very positive experience and I can honestly say if you are looking for an experienced solicitor to act on your behalf you have found it right here with Kim. No need to look any further and I wholeheartedly give my recommendation.

I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank the entire team at Thorntons for their hard work and dedication over the past 9 months. The purchase of this practice has been a challenging process, and I greatly appreciate their professionalism, guidance, and support throughout. It has been a pleasure working with them.
I'm grateful for the positive experience and feel confident moving forward thanks to the team's invaluable assistance. If I need any legal advice in the future, I won’t hesitate to reach out.

As a first-time buyer in the healthcare sector, I had many unknowns, but the expertise of the Thornton's team made the entire process seamless. From the very beginning, their expertise and professionalism were evident. The team conducted thorough due diligence, ensuring that every legal requirement was covered.
One of the standout features of working with Thornton's was their affordable upfront costs. There were absolutely no hidden charges, which gave me complete peace of mind throughout the process. Kim also generously waived a substantial portion of the costs incurred during the process that was not anticipated. The collaboration among Kim, Lucy, Nina, and Hannah was exceptional, they communicated effectively and worked seamlessly together to address any concerns or questions I had.
I was particularly impressed by their commitment to post-completion support and documentation, provided at no extra cost. This level of service truly demonstrated their dedication to their clients. Remarkably, they managed to complete the entire acquisition in just three months, going above and beyond to meet my timeline.
I highly recommend Thornton's Dental Solicitors to anyone looking to acquire a dental practice. Their expertise in the field and exceptional customer service set them apart, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. Thank you, Thorntons team, for your outstanding support!

Mike possesses a specialist knowledge in this niche market and always offers clear, concise and valuable advice to all parties. I would, and have, happily recommended him as a trusted partner to clients looking for professional support and guidance

I would not hesitate to recommend Thorntons for legal services to sell your business,in particular Kim Campbell. I have felt from the outset that Kim understood me and my ethos regarding my business. I have felt really well supported throughout the transaction by all of the team at Thorntons. Kim has made herself available to me at all times (day and night) and kept me very well informed. This has been a very stressful and challenging process and and I have always felt Kim acted in my very best interests regarding the sale. Selling your business is very personal to the individual , Kim understands this.

We have recently completed the sale of our practice after a year of complex negotiations and anxiety. Thorntons were recommended to us and have been with us throughout. Michael and his excellent team have been reassuring and supportive through the whole process. Always available when we needed them and very thorough in their advice. They helped us complete what was a very stressful process and we would have no hesitation in recommending them to you.

Kim and her team made the process of buying our practice very straightforward. Everything was explained very clearly at each stage of the process. The team were always on hand to answer any questions we had and communicated promptly. I would definitely recommend Thorntons to anyone buying a dental practice in the future.

Kim and her team at Thorntons have been excellent throughout the process of buying my practice. They were thorough, kept me well informed and made the whole process as stress free as possible! Would definitely recommend!

Selling a dental practice is a stressful experience so you need a team of experts behind you. Thorntons, from the outset, were clear with their terms and conditions, managed and advised us on the data collection and then meticulously walked us through the process, ensuring our position was the best possible. Michael, Alison, Amy and Nina brought their areas of expertise together to finalise the deal. I have no concerns, recommending Thorntons to anyone needing a solicitor's firm, to act for them, when selling their dental practice.

I have been working with Michael and his colleagues at Thorntons for some time now as advisors to the bank on a number of transactions in the dental sector. I always find them to act with absolute integrity and professionalism, but in an approachable and friendly manner at the same time which my customers and I value greatly. They continue to demonstrate efficiency, sector specific expertise and provide clear advice when needed, all of which helps even the most challenging of transactions complete in a timely manner.

I’ve dealt with Thornton’s both as a buyer and a seller at different times and I would 100% recommend them. The whole team, especially Kim are extremely helpful, supportive and pro active. They made a daunting process much easier and had great technical knowledge about the dental sector.

They were highly knowledgeable in the field of dentistry and very approachable, which I felt was very important as I felt a bit overwhelmed by the whole process of buying my first dental practice. They provided very good advice, kept on top of every step, and the whole process ran very smoothly.

Over a number of years, our relationship with the team at Thorntons Law has seen us through many challenges - from taking ownership of a dental practice, managing contracts and employment matters and full circle to the sale of our practice. Every individual has demonstrated expert knowledge and delivered advice professionally whilst maintaining the human touch that is needed to personalise every element of decision making. We cannot thank Michael, Kim, Nina, Amy and the rest team at Thorntons Law enough for guiding us through the fog to a positive outcome that provides security for our family. The best legal team there is.

I had been thinking of having my will drawn up for many years and every time I mentioned it, my daughter would say, don't be silly Mum, I don't want to talk about it. It wasn't until the Covid-19 pandemic hit, I thought enough really is enough, and contacted Michael Royden, who actually is one of my customers, to ask about this. He, in turn, put me in touch with Megan Maclean.

From the minute I spoke to Megan, she instantly put me at ease, as I was a little nervous about all this. The whole process was professional from day one. We chatted on the phone, then I received an email and all I had to do was click a link, to let Thorntons see who I was, and give one piece of proof (screenshot of passport) because of what is going on at the moment, unfortunately we couldn’t have a face to face chat.

The whole experience was great.

When the opportunity to buy my first practice came along I had no idea where to start. A well-timed webinar on practice acquisition introduced me to Michael Royden where his brief explanation of the buying process really helped. When both my accountant and bank advisor recommended him, I knew he was the right choice. Michael along with his colleagues, Kim Campbell and Nina Sinclair, were very professional and have a breadth of knowledge in the dental sector covering both the business and property aspects. They were great at checking in with me, keeping me updated and answering my questions throughout. Buying a practice is stressful enough but knowing that the legal side of things was being taken care of by them was one less thing to worry about. I would not hesitate to recommend their services to anyone looking to buy or sell a dental practice.

After 22 years of dental practice ownership and expanding to three dental practices, it was with some sadness that we decided to sell. Having never sold a dental practice before and realising it was going to be a potentially long and stressful process, we engaged the services of Michael Royden and the team at Thorntons given their experience in the field. Their knowledge of the dental practice sale process was impressive and the team guided us through the arduous process, keeping us up to date at all times. Given the complicated nature of the sale, their guidance and professional advice allowed the sale to complete with the comfort that we felt our best interests had been considered at all times throughout the sale process.

After many decades of a great deal of sweat and tears building up our dental practice we decided it was time to retire and sell our practice. Until you do this you have no idea how big a deal it is! You have one chance and it has to be right - and you have absolutely no experience to fall back on.
With hindsight the key to success is twofold - an accurate valuation and a lawyer you can absolutely rely on to protect your interests.

We decided on Michael Royden of Thorntons Solicitors who specialises in dental practice sales, and little did we appreciate how good our decision was! Michael and his team were professional and totally 'on the ball' throughout. If we had to go through this again, which thankfully we don't, we wouldn't hesitate in choosing Michael and his team at Thorntons.
