Clare Emery

Corporate Partner, Head of Dental Team

Why choose me

Since 2006, I’ve been helping dental practitioners to buy and sell practices across the UK. With an unrivalled breadth of experience, I untangle all the complicated strands around dental transactions, providing expert advice to individual practitioners, dental committees and boutique corporate acquirers.

I know that you can’t contact me during surgery hours, so I work around you, and am always on the other end of the phone when you need me. With other members of the Health and Social Care team, I deliver seminars on all issues around buying and selling practices, ensuring that you’re prepared should the time come to make a transaction.
