Attorney Database for Physicians
(Physician contract lawyers, healthcare law attorneys & more)
As you likely know if you're on our physician communities, posts asking about 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 provide this listing of the attorneys below, who have been positively reviewed by doctors within our Facebook communities, and who sponsor our mission.
If you are a law firm that would like to be listed on this list, please visit our partner with us page to learn more.
Disclosure: Please note that these are paid sponsored listings to provide you with a place to start with your research. As always, we do recommend doing your own due diligence to assess whether the firms listed are a good fit for you, and you should view this list as an introduction, rather than a recommendation for your particular situation.

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 national firm that reviews physician employment contracts across the nation below the local listings.
