Experienced and Proven San Diego Medical Practice and Healthcare Business Attorneys
The Watkins Firm has more than 35 years of service to San Diego and Southern California physicians, nurses, medical professionals and healthcare organizations and businesses. As experienced and skilled San Diego medical practice and healthcare business attorneys we provide a breadth of services to support all aspects of a medical business including (but not limited to):
Physician and Medical Professional Employment Contracts – Crafting employment contracts for all levels of professionals and medical staff and negotiating your employment contract with a healthcare provider or private practice requires skill and expertise. The details of these agreements have been greatly complicated by aspects of the Affordable Health Care Act and regulatory developments at the federal, state and local levels.
Regulatory and legal compliance – healthcare practices and companies are held to a high level of regulatory compliance that encompass everything from Sarbanes-Oxley to OSHA and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). In addition corporate governance and compliance and severance negotiations protect the financial and legal integrity of your entity.
Creation or Modification of Entities such as a Management Services Organization (MSO) or Professional Corporation – California has very strict laws about who may own a medical or healthcare business and a broad range of federal, state and local laws and regulatory requirements which must be fulfilled. The selection of the most appropriate entity and integration of existing entities is an ongoing challenge for medical professionals and healthcare businesses alike. The structure of the entity or entities associated with a medical practice or healthcare business will reduce risk, enhance profitability and protect professional licensure.
California provides a Professional Corporation or PC that is a specialized entity reserved for those in professional practices. The Professional Corporation provides extensive protections against liability arising from the actions of others within the practice, as well as advantageous business deductions for expenses and increased retirement account contributions.
