CONTRACT ATTORNEYS FOR PHYSICIANS
With very few exceptions, we think everyone should have their employment contract reviewed by a contract attorney before signing. In most cases, it is well worth the money. Your potential employer has put a lot of time and effort into compiling a contract agreement that works well for them. Having a trained set of eyes helping you review and counter with suggested changes can help protect you from issues such as concerning clauses or from items negotiated being left out of the contract.
Learn more in our physician contract negotiations primer.
Below, you can browse our local contract review attorneys, organized alphabetically by state. We also have a partner that reviews physician employment contracts across the nation below the local listings.
