Physicians Group Attorneys working for Physicians
Doctors Lawyer-Practice Group Lawyer – A single Physician's skill set is literally a productive asset for a healthcare institution. The average “Physician” has a revenue value of between $2,000,000 to $5,000,000 over a 3 year period, and about 50% of that is contribution toward the profitability of the practice. There are many reasons that such assets need to be well protected. It is important to specify and carve out the roles and responsibilities of all parties accurately, and to have exit/termination clauses that do not unduly allow for either party to take advantage of the other.
