• CPD: Category 2: Knowledge and Skills - Learning Sessions

It's increasingly common for specialists to join a group practice. The benefits of combined skills and financial resources can relieve the burden on individuals. However, group practice can be challenging without a plan or structure. Topics covered by this session include: Legal and taxation structures; Practice considerations around business planning and structuring agreements to minimise disputes; Financial and business operating considerations, including insurances, billing and staff agreements.

Please Note: Due to differences in legal and regulatory frameworks, the guidance provided in this session will be specific to Australia. However, we trust the overarching concepts will be of value. Should you require tailored advice, William Buck are pleased to offer a complimentary session with their New Zealand team.
