Med Contract Law is the physician-focused division of McCormick Law & Consulting dedicated to reviewing and negotiating physician employment agreements and representing physicians in practice sales, acquisitions, mergers, and other healthcare transactions.
Physicians spend more than a decade training to practice medicine. Yet some of the most important financial and professional decisions of their careers can turn on contracts and transactions they may encounter only once or twice.
That’s where we come in.
Med Contract Law represents physicians throughout the full lifecycle of their careers, from employment agreements and partnership arrangements to practice acquisitions, sales, mergers, and other healthcare transactions. We bring 16+ years of legal experience and thousands of contracts and transactional documents prepared, reviewed, and negotiated to every engagement.
Our M&A experience includes representing physicians in multi-million-dollar transactions involving the purchase and sale of medical practices and related business interests. We help physicians navigate deal structure, purchase agreements, compensation arrangements, restrictive covenants, transition obligations, risk allocation, and the many details that can materially affect the value of a transaction.
Whether a physician is negotiating an employment contract or selling a practice built over decades, our role is the same: protect their interests, identify the risks, and help them make informed decisions about what comes next.
We don’t represent hospitals or health systems in these matters. We advocate for physicians.
