PHYSICIAN-HOSPITAL AGREEMENTS AND CLINICIAN EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS SERVICES

In the health care industry, our legal services include drafting and negotiating agreements for healthcare businesses and professionals. This includes: physician recruitment agreements, physician employment agreements, non-compete agreements, exclusive provider agreements, and other types of contracts in the health care industry. We can also draft agreements involving delegation of services — for example, between an MD and a physician assistant (PA).

Healthcare entities and facilities require unique advice in the contract drafting arena as they are often subject to extensive regulation beyond rules applicable to most employers and businesses. Local law can also significantly affect contract drafting.

For example, in California, issues of non-competes involved in employment and in the sale of a business frequently generate litigation. Our business and health care law attorneys are skilled in understanding the litigation background behind various contractual clauses and in advising clients accordingly so as to protect their interests in advance.

We also have extensive experience with corporate founders, shareholders and operating agreements, buy-ins, compensation arrangements, practice sales and purchases.

By drawing on the combined talents and experience of our attorneys, our clients will be aware of nuances of contracts and will comply with the requirements of state and federal fraud and abuse laws and other statutory and regulatory challenges unique to health care professional entities.
