Are you searching for experienced healthcare attorneys for San Diego and Southern California? Medical practices and healthcare businesses are substantially different than other forms of businesses. Your business attorneys need to have proven experience and legal skill helping to form medical practices and healthcare entities such as a Management Services Organization or MSO while providing enforceable contracts and conflict resolution support throughout the life of your medical business.
Medical Practices and Healthcare Businesses are Different

Your concerns going in are probably centered on income, equity participation, work and call hours, liability exposure and your right to indemnification as well as decision making authority and influence.
While California is known as an employee-friendly state in non-compete matters, our courts tend to take a more conservative position on covenants regarding patient solicitation. Your exit strategy should be given as much consideration as your financial incentives. Are you presently under contract? Breaking an existing contract could expose you to a non-compete enforcement action as well as a civil lawsuit.
