Control Your Employment Contract 2025…or It Will Control You...

What's Up Docs?!

As the year winds down, now’s the perfect time to look at where you’re headed—starting with your contract. Whether we’ve worked together before or you’re new here, my goal remains the same: to help you navigate your employment agreements with confidence, flexibility, and a good dose of legal protection. Contracts are meant to serve your interests, not hold you hostage to fine print you didn’t realize was there!?

Let’s Talk “Notice” – Because Missing It Can Really Cost You?

One often-overlooked contract detail carrying?significant consequences? Notice periods. As you likely?know,?many physician employment?agreements have a 30-, 60-, or 90-day notice requirement for leaving AND non-renewing.?Notice of leaving and notice of intention to not renew for an additional option are generally different requirements, carrying different obligations and are found in different contract provisions.?Sounds straightforward enough, but missing these deadlines could lock you into another year on the same (sometimes not-so-ideal) terms and conditions. And it gets trickier: automatic renewals, obligations to repay advances, tail insurance responsibilities, and restrictive covenants (hello, non-competes) could all be part of the deal if you’re not aware of what’s lurking in those clauses.?

Imagine This: You Plan to Leave… Only to Realize You’re Stuck (Again)?

The last thing I want is for any of my clients to feel “stuck” due to an unexpected renewal or surprise repayment. That’s why I go through each agreement with a fine-tooth comb and walk you through the details in ways that, I’m told, are often “exhaustive” and perhaps exhausting...yes, you might get more detail than you bargained for—but it’s all part of making sure nothing is left to chance! It's not always what's explicitly written, but the interpretation as well as understanding?what's at play "between the lines."?At a minimum, you want to be aware of your options. Once you take the first step to reach out, link ?? ?? ?? that's where I come in!?

So, What’s Your Plan??

Have you looked at your contract lately? Are you sure there’s nothing hiding in there that could throw off your plans? Now’s the time to take a closer look and ask yourself: Do you want to renew under the same terms, or could a proactive approach open up room for better options? Even if you’re happy with where you are, knowing your options—and your exit strategies—is key to staying in control.?

The Process: White-Glove Service with Real, Tailored Insight?

When you work with me, I’m not just handing off a summary. I provide extremely?detailed emailed?notes, personalized insights, and all the backup you need to feel fully prepared - not overreaching...looking foolish or compromising the relationship with your employer in the process.?I will also remain fully available to ensure you feel comfortable throughout the process.

My approach to your agreement is unique, coming from both a contract and litigation perspective, as I regularly both negotiate physician employment agreements as well as represent clients in court throughout the litigation process when?the terms and conditions are in dispute. Through this unique approach, I'm able to proactively guide you through your specific contract provisions looking three steps down the road, understanding how they operate together and could likely play out in the event either party acts contrary to the agreement.

And if you’d rather not handle the negotiations directly with your employer, I can take those conversations off your plate entirely, representing you with your employer and managing the nuances of the discussion. I know contract review services can feel cookie-cutter or impersonal. But I handle every contract as if it were my own, providing real attorney-level review (not AI-generated notes,?sservice company or paralegal responses) and ensuring nothing is missed. Whatever your comfort level, my goal is that you feel confident and empowered through working with me.?
