Following the COVID-19 pandemic, force majeure clauses have become more common in physician employment contracts. Attorneys Kyle Cl...

Outside of expiration, an employment contract can generally be terminated in one of two ways - "for cause" or "without cause."

Attorneys Kyle Claussen and Skyler Mickelson detail some examples of termination for cause and explain how broad definitions of misconduct ...
Properly defined duties, responsibilities, and scheduling are often overlooked in physician employment contracts. These aspects of a job can appear straightforward, and are typically discussed during the interview process, but those conversations do not always translate well to an offer letter or contract. Attorneys Kyle Claussen and Brady Glissendorf explain how vague contract language about scheduling and other logistics of a job...
Negotiating an employment contract can be daunting, especially for new attending physicians.

While it is normal to feel apprehensive about negotiations, many fears surrounding the process are overexaggerated and it is extremely rare for things to go wrong. Attorneys Kyle Claussen and Bryc...

The majority of physicians who review their contracts will at least compare their current or potential compensation to fair market value (FMV) and then negotiate their salaries and bonuses if necessary. Attorneys Lauren Kaufman and Kyle Claussen explain exactly what constitutes FMV and how physicians can utilize it when negotiating compensation numbers.

Employers often offer recruitment incentives to draw physicians into working at their practices or health systems. These incentives can include signing bonuses, stipends, relocation allowances, student loan repayment plans, and more. Attorneys Bryce Krieger and Kyle Claussen discuss how recruitment incentives are typically structured, what financial pitfalls physicians should beware of, and even describe some of the most unique inc...
