Trusted Legal Counsel for Dental Professionals in Irvine and Orange County – Mazarei Law Group, Inc.

Running a successful dental practice in Orange County involves more than just providing exceptional patient care—it requires navigating a complex legal and regulatory landscape. From business formation to contract negotiation, lease agreements, compliance, and practice sales, dentists and dental clinic owners face numerous legal challenges that can impact both day-to-day operations and long-term success.

At Mazarei Law Group, Inc., based in Irvine, California, we specialize in delivering tailored legal solutions for dental professionals and dental clinics across Orange County. Led by experienced legal advocate Attorney Tawny Mazarei, our firm is committed to helping dentists protect their practices, resolve legal issues, and build strong foundations for sustainable growth.

Whether you’re starting your first practice in Mission Viejo, expanding your operations in Anaheim, or selling a long-established dental office in Huntington Beach, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

Business Formation & Corporate Transactions for Dentists

Establishing the right business structure is critical to the success of your dental practice. We assist dental professionals in Orange County with forming California professional corporations (PCs) and other appropriate business entities that comply with Dental Board of California requirements and state corporate law.

From choosing between an S-Corp or C-Corp to drafting bylaws and shareholder agreements, Attorney Tawny Mazarei ensures your practice is built on a solid legal foundation. We also handle the filing of Articles of Incorporation, EIN applications, and can advise on optimal tax structures in coordination with your accountant or CPA.

If you’re entering into or dissolving a dental partnership or acquiring another dental practice, our team will support you through the corporate transaction—from due diligence to closing.

Dental Contract Drafting and Review

Contracts are a vital part of every dental practice, whether you are hiring associate dentists, leasing equipment, or managing vendor relationships. Our firm provides customized contract services for:

• Associate dentist agreements

• Independent contractor agreements

• Partnership agreements

• Vendor and supplier contracts

• Buy-sell agreements

• Non-compete and non-solicitation clauses

• Confidentiality agreements

We make sure all agreements are not only compliant with California law, but also protect your rights and minimize potential liabilities.

Dental Office Leases in Orange County

Leasing a commercial space for your dental clinic is a major commitment. Orange County real estate—from Irvine to Costa Mesa and Fullerton—is competitive, and landlords often use lease language that heavily favors their interests. We help you understand and negotiate favorable lease terms, such as:

• Rent escalation clauses

• Tenant improvement (TI) allowances

• Exclusivity provisions

• Renewal options

• Maintenance responsibilities

• Assignment and subletting terms

Whether you’re leasing a new location in Santa Ana or renewing a lease in Newport Beach, Mazarei Law Group, Inc. ensures your lease agreement protects your practice’s financial and operational stability.

Employment Law for Dental Clinics

Hiring and managing employees comes with a host of legal responsibilities. We advise dental clinic owners in Orange County on California employment law compliance, helping you reduce the risk of disputes and litigation. Our employment law services include:

• Drafting compliant employee handbooks

• Creating employment and independent contractor agreements

• Advising on wage and hour compliance

• Counseling on terminations, layoffs, and employee discipline

• Handling employment disputes and labor board issues

We stay up to date with California’s evolving labor laws so you can focus on running your clinic with confidence.

Practice Purchases, Sales, and Transitions

Thinking about buying or selling a dental practice in Orange County? This is one of the most significant decisions in a dentist’s career, and it requires careful legal planning. Whether you’re a new dentist purchasing your first practice in Laguna Niguel or a retiring dentist selling your successful office in Orange, we handle every legal detail of the transaction.

Our services include:

• Drafting and reviewing asset purchase agreements

• Ensuring proper due diligence

• Navigating patient record transfers

• Managing transition timelines

• Addressing lease assignment or negotiation

• Handling non-compete clauses and staff transition agreements

We also assist with partnership buy-ins and buy-outs, helping you navigate the legal, tax, and business implications of shared practice ownership.

Annual Corporate Minutes & Compliance

California requires all professional corporations to maintain annual corporate records, including board minutes and shareholder resolutions. Failure to do so can lead to legal complications or affect your corporation’s good standing. Mazarei Law Group, Inc. provides annual corporate maintenance services, helping your dental corporation stay compliant year after year.

We also assist with state licensing issues, regulatory filings, and HIPAA compliance matters, ensuring your practice remains fully aligned with legal and ethical standards.
