Physician employment contract review in Montana

What the review covers

The firm reviews the full agreement and its exhibits and explains what each provision means for you.

• Compensation formulas, productivity and quality bonuses, and how they are calculated
• Term, termination and notice, including without-cause termination and what follows it
• Restrictive covenants under Montana law: non-competition, non-solicitation and whether they are enforceable
• Malpractice coverage and tail insurance, and who pays for it
• Call, schedule, outside activities and intellectual property
• Benefits, retirement contributions, signing bonuses and repayment terms
• Partnership, ownership or equity tracks and what they actually promise
• A written summary and a conversation with the attorney before you respond

Fee

Contract review is a fixed fee, quoted before engagement, covering the review, the written summary and the conversation. Negotiation with the employer is a separate fixed-fee engagement, recommended only where the firm believes it will change the outcome.

Who this is for

Physicians, dentists, advanced practice providers and healthcare executives receiving a first offer, a renewal or a new agreement after an acquisition, in Montana or relocating to it. Executives in other industries with employment, equity or separation agreements are reviewed on the same terms.
