Succession Planning for a Law Firm in Düsseldorf

Succession for a successful oral and maxillofacial surgery & dentistry practice. The fully equipped practice is currently operated as a solo practice. The owner is seeking a successor for health reasons. There are a variety of future prospects here, whether focusing on dentistry or oral and maxillofacial surgery, and whether as a solo practice or a group practice. The practice covers 270 m² (rental property) with a functional and spacious layout, making it ideally suited for a partnership-run multi-dentist practice. The lease includes a long-term option (10+5+5 years), providing security. The practice is equipped to a high standard. There are four treatment rooms as well as an additional room (previously used as an anesthesia recovery room). The practice is fully digitized, including 3D CT and panoramic X-ray capabilities. It has its own in-house laboratory for impressions, splints, and templates. The practice benefits from a stable base of self-pay and private patients. The practice is being sold under attractive terms and offers one or more successors the exceptional opportunity to take over a very well-equipped practice in a prime location within an economically attractive environment with a high quality of life. This presents a wide range of opportunities for further specialization. There is no obligation to take on existing employees.

Age-Related Succession in a Group Practice with Three Dentists This long-established dental practice is currently run as a family business by a father and daughter as a group practice, with one dentist employed by the practice. Due to the senior partner’s age, the goal is to complete the succession in 2026. A 50% stake is to be sold following prior collaboration in an employee capacity. The region is known for its high quality of life and economic strength. Of particular note is its proximity to Austria, Switzerland, and Liechtenstein—these countries provide a supraregional pool of self-paying patients. The practice spans 252 m² (rental property) with a functional and spacious layout—ideal for a partnership-run multi-dentist practice. The lease includes a long-term option, providing security. The practice is equipped to a high standard. There are four treatment rooms, as well as an additional room for bioresonance therapy, physical therapy, and psychiatry. The practice is largely digitized, including 3D CT imaging. It features a large in-house laboratory. The practice benefits from a stable patient base consisting of approximately 80% self-pay and private patients, particularly from neighboring countries. You should be committed to a long-term partnership and possess a holistic understanding of treatment.

We are an established law firm with a tradition spanning over 50 years and a consistently high volume of clients in the areas of family and estate law. We place a particular emphasis on complex property division disputes arising from separation and divorce. This has earned us an excellent reputation, and we primarily serve clients with high incomes and substantial assets. Due to our location in a border region, our practice also includes supraregional and international cases. Due to the retirement of the owner and two other partners, the firm is to be transferred to a suitable successor on attractive terms. We are seeking a colleague with two to three years of professional experience and certification as a specialist attorney in family or estate law. Alternatively, the candidate should have already completed a specialist attorney training program. The firm is fully digitized. Modern office space in close proximity to the local and regional courts, along with a high-performance, cloud-based IT infrastructure, enable a seamless and immediate transition into the role. A structured onboarding and handover process can be provided—even over a longer period, if desired. If you are interested, please contact us at dkm.family.law@gmail.com. Absolute discretion is guaranteed.

A long-established solo practice in a central, accessible location is for sale. The practice features three treatment rooms, modern digital equipment, and a very solid financial position. The practice owner will actively assist with the transition and will remain available as a staff dentist and mentor through the end of 2026. The practice is particularly well-suited for dentists who are planning to start their own practice and wish to take over a well-organized operation. Location and Surroundings: The practice is located in a vibrant mid-sized town at the foot of the Harz Mountains, offering a high quality of life, a stable economic structure, and excellent infrastructure. The area features a hospital, various schools (including private schools), a university of applied sciences, and numerous recreational and cultural offerings. The strong tourism industry, with very high annual visitor numbers, along with a large number of medium-sized employers, ensures a stable patient base and above-average purchasing power. Practice Premises and Lease Agreement: The practice is located in modern, light-filled, and barrier-free premises with approximately 150 square meters of floor space in a central location. Dedicated patient parking spaces and two underground parking spots are available. Additionally, a laboratory area in the basement can be used if needed. A new commercial lease agreement with a term of seven years and an annual renewal option is being offered to the successor. The net base rent is expected to be approximately 2,000 euros per month. Any existing obligation to restore the premises to its original condition will be waived upon signing the new lease agreement. Facilities and Digitalization: The practice has three treatment rooms, including two standard treatment rooms and a separate preventive care room. The practice operates entirely digitally: digital X-rays, a CEREC CAD/CAM system, practice-wide networking, and fully digital patient records. Established practice software is used in all treatment rooms. Digital patient education and medical history tools are integrated into the workflows. The rooms are modern, bright, accessible, and functionally tailored to existing processes. Seller and Transition Model: The owner wishes to transfer the practice into responsible hands and places great importance on continuity in patient care. He offers a structured onboarding program, including a clear mentoring role and employment as a dentist through the end of 2026 (expected). The goal is a seamless transition without any disruption in the experience for patients and the team. Asking Price: An independent appraisal confirms a practice value of approximately 280,000 euros. The owner’s asking price is 160,000 euros (negotiable) and is deliberately set at a moderate level to make it easier for a committed successor to start their own practice. Given the practice’s earnings and existing structures, it offers an attractive opportunity with manageable risk. Target Buyer Profile: We are seeking a dentist who has a clear desire to own their own practice and enjoys building long-term relationships with patients. Ideally, the candidate should have an interest in implantology and modern, digitally supported dentistry, or the desire to develop expertise in these areas. Thanks to the planned mentorship, well-established processes, and solid financial foundation, the practice is particularly well-suited for making the transition from salaried employment to self-employment.
