Allie loves working with dentists because of her personal background.  Attorney Petrova comes from a dental family with a strong tradition in medicine and dentistry, and has an intimate understanding of the business, legal, and operational challenges that accompany the dental field.

Ms. Petrova is at ease discussing aesthetic resin restorations, porcelain crowns and the demanding second mesio-buccal canal because dental topics continue to be common at the dinner table with her mother and brother being dentists.  Ms. Petrova also grew up around an orthopedic surgeon aunt, a cardiologist granduncle, and an ophthalmologist grandaunt.

That is why, Petrova Law is in the business of representing general dentists, oral and maxillofacial surgeons, pediatric dentists, orthodontists, endodontists, prosthodontists and periodontists in a wide range of transactional matters. Dentists can benefit from Allie’s expertise in mergers and acquisitions and business tax law.

We assist with due diligence and negotiations for practice purchases and sales, structure group and multi-office practices, prepare buy-sell agreements, help negotiate associate agreements, represent dentists before the IRS and state tax authorities, and counsel on asset protection and succession planning.
