We know that no two medical practices are the same and we work closely with each client to assure they have the best business and tax structure to meet their needs. Physicians are a well-educated group of clients and their demands and expectations are very high and our goal is to exceed those expectations.
The biggest issue in medical practices is usually compensation and how each physician will be rewarded for their services and direct contribution of time and effort to the practice. We use our experience to arrive at a plan that fits the group as a whole yet provides flexibility as needed to address special situations. We strive to offer a one-stop type firm where we can provide legal services and have have access to experts in all areas of the law encountered by a medical practice.
