Professional practices cannot be formed and operated like general business corporations. Whether it’s a medical practice, acupuncture clinic or therapy corporation, setting up your business requires a healthcare lawyer’s experience and perspective.
Healthwise Legal will guide you each step of the way from Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws and Minutes to employment agreements, leases and services agreements. We also build out healthcare ventures, forming general corporations and limited liability corporations to provide management services to professional corporations. We draft detailed operating agreements and advise on management structure and future exit strategies, while addressing relevant regulatory prohibitions, each step of the way.
We also help clients wind up businesses seamlessly and in accordance with governing documents, State requirements and the requirements of relevant regulatory agencies.
From start-up to sale, Healthwise Legal is here to guide your business.
