Practice Areas
In today’s heavily regulated environment, the proper structure of a professional practice is the key to avoiding a variety of legal problems. For a single doctor practice, the choices in California are few…either a sole proprietorship or a professional corporation. In a multi-doctor practice, the issues become more complex, involving not just the basic structure, but also the compensation arrangements, employment contracts, and buy-out arrangements.
Typically, practices must be structured to comply with federal and state anti-kickback, self-referral, and group practice requirements. This is an area in which expert legal advice is essential.
