Physician Contract Negotiation, From the Other Side of the Table
Twenty minutes on which parts of your contract are actually worth negotiating — from the person who used to decide how much room there was on the number.
If you want somebody to read it before you sign it
That is what the Physician Contract Review is. You send me the contract and you get a report back in one business day — what your compensation actually does over the term, which terms carry real risk, which ones to leave completely alone, and specifically what I would ask for and how I would word it.
The hard part was never finding somebody to tell you the contract is long. It is that nobody shows you which parts of it matter, so the whole document feels equally untouchable and most of the energy goes into the terms that were never in play.
There is a second thing a review gets you, and it is harder to name. There is a person on the other side of the table forming an opinion about you the entire time you are negotiating. Knowing which asks are reasonable is also how you avoid spending that goodwill on something you did not need.
And if you are not at that point yet, do not book a review. Genuinely.
There is a free fifteen-minute Ask Me Anything. Bring whatever you are actually looking at — an offer, one clause you cannot read, a number somebody said on a phone call — and I will tell you how I would think about it from the hiring side.
No pitch. If the answer is that you do not need a review, that is the answer you will get.
