Considerations When Hiring an Attorney to Review a Physician Contract
// Dallas, Texas, United States // Attorney Keith Clouse (Blog) // Keith Clouse
When hiring an attorney to review a proposed employment law agreement, a physician should consider the attorney’s:
1. Knowledge of employment law. Because unique employment laws apply to physician employment agreements, a doctor should hire an attorney who regularly drafts and negotiates employment agreements for physicians. Also, because non-compete laws vary by jurisdiction, a doctor should hire a lawyer who practices in the state where the agreement will be enforced. 2. Knowledge of health care law. Health care law is specialized and complex. A physician should hire an attorney who understands how health care law intersects with employment law to ensure that the doctor’s employment agreement complies with federal and state laws. 3. Communication skills. An attorney who is a strong communicator will be able to help the physician understand the agreement’s implications and the doctor’s obligations. He will also be able to identify key points for compromise and effectively negotiate with the prospective employer. 4. Accessibility. The negotiation process can be fast-moving. A physician needs a lawyer who is available and responsive.
