When to Reach Out to a Physician Contract Attorney

Physicians often ask at what point they should reach out to an attorney who deals with a lot of physician contracts; the perfect time to reach out to such an attorney is whenever you’re wondering if you need one! Perhaps you are contemplating switching jobs and unsure of the best strategy for leaving and giving notice to your current employer. Others might be at some point in the search for their first job, uncertain about how best to time communications with potential employers or wanting to preserve as many options as possible. Another common scenario that might trigger a consultation with a physician contract attorney is any sort of dispute with or rebuke from an employer. And of course, one of the biggest reasons physicians reach out to Esther Roskam Legal is the desire to simply understand the rights and obligations of a current or prospective employment agreement. 

Once you reach out, a good physician contract attorney will speak with you to get a full sense of your personal and professional situation and understand your top priorities for your job search or other contract review. At Esther Roskam Legal, I carefully review client contracts and make sure to spend plenty of time helping you understand what the contract does or does not say, and how that measures up to your understanding from your interactions with that employer. While no attorney can guarantee a specific outcome, I offer an in-depth explanation of what you are getting into and how the contract in question fits with your unique needs. The most common questions revolve around scheduling and call concerns, malpractice insurance, salary and other aspects of compensation and employment location(s). 

Whatever the reason might be, don’t hesitate to reach out and I will be happy to assist you or refer you to the most appropriate person for your situation. Esther Roskam Legal has flexible hours by appointment only.
