Experienced Rochester Contract Review Lawyers

In Rochester, Minnesota, thousands of physicians train and work at Mayo Clinic. We have wide experience reviewing contracts and counseling physicians in seeking their first positions, as well as experienced professionals, regarding employment contracts and benefit packages. Our experience in reviewing physician contracts enables us to identify in an employment offer what is common, what is troublesome, how particular contract terms stack up against others, and what is missing. We have experience knowing which terms can sometimes be negotiated, and which are likely non-negotiable.

For new physicians starting off in a private or academic practice, it is important to understand the terms under which you are hired. Some common issues include:

• What is the duration of the contract — what notice is required to resign; what notice is required by the employer to end the employment
• Non-solicitation and confidentiality
• Malpractice insurance coverage and “tail” (reporting endorsement) coverage
• Transitioning health benefits from residency/fellowship to the new employment
• Taxation of bonuses or advances
• Whether individual insurance benefits are necessary

We will review the contract and benefit summary first and then meet with you to discuss and provide counsel on the contract. Klampe Law Firm LLC can provide a fast turnaround in these matters as we know time is of the essence for busy professionals. The typical time required for the review and meeting is approximately one and one-half hours and the typical final bill is around $600, subject to complexity of the contract review. Contact us online or call us at 507-405-2188
