We are incredibly proud to share that Pierce & Mandell, P.C. has been officially recognized as a preferred provider of Legal Services by the Massachusetts Medical Society (MMS). 1 This partnership emanates from our longstanding dedication to supporting physicians throughout their careers, especially in reviewing and negotiating employment contracts. 2
For many physicians, signing an employment contract is one of the most notable decisions of one’s career. As noted by Dr. Liam Hurley, a urologist working with health care attorney William Mandell of Pierce & Mandell, P.C., “many physicians excel in medicine but lack expertise in contract law.” 3 As a result, it is essential for physicians considering offers of employment to secure legal counsel from a health lawyer in order to fully understand the common physician employment terms and conditions that can affect everything from malpractice insurance coverage to termination rights to non-compete restrictions, as well as current compensation package norms.
At Pierce & Mandell, P.C., we work closely alongside physicians at all stages of their careers, from residents and fellows to those ready to retire, to help review, understand and assess all of the provisions within each contract so that our clients have clarity and can seek terms that reflect their personal and professional goals. We strive to provide comprehensive contract reviews, plan strategic negotiations of terms, advise clients on compensation and benefits, and review partnership and buy-in opportunities. 4
As a preferred provider of Massachusetts Medical Society, we offer a discounted fee arrangement for MMS Members. By partnering with MMS, we look forward to assisting more physicians and providing them with experienced legal counsel specializing in health and employment law.
In addition to serving the needs of individual physicians and their employment agreement reviews and negotiations, we also offer full service legal assistance to medical and other professional practices as to their associate employment recruitment and retention efforts, employment agreement design and regulatory compliance.
