THE DRAMATIC LEGAL BENEFITS
Our extremely popular Practice Protection Package™ will bring the following enormous benefits to your practice, for the lifetime of your practice/clinic, for a one-time flat fee:
individual contracts for each of your staff that will offer you the maximum legal power and protection possible at law (and that may save you tens of thousands of dollars or even six figures in termination payments alone per employee);
a comprehensive Workplace Policy Manual for your office that will help you ensure compliance with your regulatory obligations and to manage your staff easily;
the necessary intellectual property rights in the form of a legal licence to use the documents we prepare for you with future hires in your practice throughout the remainder of your practice/clinic; (this right is transferable to a purchaser of your practice - and has enormous market value!)
user-friendly Precedent Templates in electronic form so that you can conveniently prepare contracts for future hires going forward and make any necessary changes to your policies; and
the legal advice and support you need to implement the transition in a smooth and legally effective manner.
To highlight the importance of implementing the PPP™ for your practice, we like to use the following analogy. Contracts are like fire insurance: you put it in place with the hopes that you'll never need it, but when you do, you're happy it was taken care of beforehand.
IF IT’S NOT FROM MBC, IT’S NOT A PPP
A number of important characteristics distinguish our trademarked Practice Protection Package™ from anything else available in the market. Among the most significant are the following:
1. The PPP™ is the industry-recognized gold standard for HR documents recommended by many of the leading experts working in the dental profession including bankers, brokers, accountants, corporate lawyers, etc.
2. Unlike most "contracts", the PPP™ also includes a customized, comprehensive Workplace Policy Manual that is, importantly, legally incorporated by reference into your existing employees’ contracts.
3. Many other HR packages require an annual fee whereas ours is a one-time flat fee.
4. The PPP™ also includes user friendly templates such as a new hire template so that all employees you hire throughout the lifetime of your practice will also be covered by the same terms that protect you and your practice.
5. The PPP™ includes a transferable licence which well-advised buyers look for and are willing to pay a considerable premium for because it functions as a quality assurance guarantee.
6. To our knowledge, our contracts and policies are the only ones in the industry that have been tested repeatedly in Court and have won. Not only has our PPP™ defeated employee claims, we have been awarded significant costs against the employees. Given how sympathetic to employees Courts generally are, this is a very significant victory. If you wish to read these decisions, please let us know.
7. It is not uncommon for clients who have completed the PPP™ process to say that it is under-priced given its enormous value.
8. Over 90 per cent of the "contracts " we are asked to review are literally not worth the paper they are written on.

WHO IS SINGING OUR PRAISE?
“Professional schools don’t prepare doctors for the intricacies of Canadian employment law, which is among the riskiest parts of any business. Without the essential tools (like proper employment contracts and policy manuals) doctors expose themselves to unnecessary risks that can affect their careers and their lives with devastating financial and emotional consequences. MBC’s PPP™ has helped my clients gain peace of mind knowing that their practice is protected. In my opinion, the PPP™ is as essential to every doctor as malpractice insurance.”
“I think MBC provides a fantastic service for physicians and dentists, and address a chink in the armour most of them have.”
“Because I delayed implementing proper contracts, teI was surprised and relieved to find out that I could put into place a contract with my staff, even though they had already been working for me for many years. I sleep better at night now.”
“Thank you for your great professional advice and the Practice Protection Package™ for my dental practice. I subsequently had my practice appraised and sold and the HR issues were resolved to our mutual satisfaction. The transition went very well for both parties. Your work on our behalf certainly made a big difference in that whole process. I have now fully retired—a great way to finish. Keep up the great work for members of our great profession.”
“Many years ago now, I worked with MBC to transition all my staff to gold-standard contracts and policies. Recently, I had to terminate an employee with over twenty years of service, for just cause. Despite a claim from a prominent local lawyer that would have totaled in the six figures (factoring in the employee’s claim, her legal fees—which I would have been responsible for had she won—and my legal fees) the employee and her lawyer walked away with nothing. I’m so grateful to MBC for being so thorough with my transition to bullet-proof contracts and policies!”
