(Physician contract lawyers, healthcare law attorneys & more)
​
As you likely know if you're on our physician communities, posts asking for recommended attorneys or comments telling the posters that they need to speak with an attorney come up multiple times a day.
This may be in regards to attorneys specializing in physician contracts, employment or professional issues often faced by doctors, estate planning, divorce or family lawyers, real estate, immigration, or otherwise.
​
To help connect our physicians with these resources, we have partnered with the attorneys below, who have been positively reviewed by doctors within our Facebook communities, and who sponsor our mission.

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.
