Healthcare Contracting

Our attorneys began their careers in health law by advising physicians, hospitals, and medical groups on matters involving healthcare contracting. They now have over a decade of experience in this practice area and have drafted, reviewed, and negotiated hundreds of healthcare contracts. These contracts include employment agreements, independent contractor agreements, recruitment agreements, shareholder agreements, professional services agreements, call coverage agreements, joint venture agreements, separation agreements, and operating agreements and bylaws for healthcare entities.

Our attorneys regularly present to medical residents and fellows on the ins and outs of reviewing and negotiating a physician’s first employment contract. As former high school teachers and current adjunct professors at the University of New Mexico School of Law, our attorneys make education a central component of their legal practice. When it comes to physician contract review and negotiation, education is the starting point. A strong understanding of the provisions in a healthcare contract can help mitigate risk exposure and reduce the likelihood of litigation or administrative action by medical boards.
