Physician Contract Review

Physician Employment Contract Review and Guidance

Chelle Law provides employment contract review services for physicians nationwide. Physician employment and independent contractor agreements can contain complex provisions involving base salary, RVU and productivity compensation, bonuses, call obligations, restrictive covenants, malpractice and tail insurance, termination rights, repayment obligations, scheduling requirements, and other terms that can significantly affect a physician’s income, workload, and future career options.

Attorney Robert Chelle has more than 20 years of experience reviewing professional employment agreements and has represented more than 1,000 licensed professionals. His physician contract practice includes residents and fellows evaluating their first attending positions, experienced physicians considering new opportunities, hospital-employed physicians, private practice physicians, independent contractors, locum tenens physicians, and doctors reviewing renewals or proposed changes to existing agreements.

Every physician contract review is focused on helping you understand how the agreement operates in practice, where legal, financial, or professional risk may exist, and which provisions may warrant clarification or revision before signing. Because physician compensation models, restrictive covenant laws, malpractice obligations, and employment rules can vary significantly by specialty, employer, and state, each review is tailored to the specific agreement and circumstances involved.
