I worked with Dave Swan recently for disability insurance. Dave and his team were very professional and courteous. He was always available for questions and was overall a pleasure to work with.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the contract review process look like?

Our process begins with an electronic link where you can pay and upload your employment documents and related information.

Next, you’ll receive a scheduling link for calls with our financial advisor and attorney, which can often be arranged within 24 hours.

The financial advisor will provide a written comparison of your offer using industry standards, MGMA data, and our proprietary database, outlining suggested changes.

The attorney will then review legal issues, integrate the advisor’s insights, and coach you on negotiation strategies.

If you prefer, our negotiation specialist can handle negotiations for you. Throughout the process, we remain available for additional calls, email correspondence, and final contract review, ensuring thorough support at every stage.

How long does the contract review process take?

We guarantee that we can review the contract within 2-3 business days, and we have an expedited option for physicians in a time crunch.

When you negotiate, how successful are you in convincing the employer to modify the contract?

It is impossible to predict how an employer will respond to our negotiation thoughts. We have seen annual six-digit compensation increases, total inflexibility, and everything in-between.

What we can say, is that generally speaking, the vast majority of employers are at least willing to listen to negotiation thoughts, and won’t respond unprofessionally (by, say, revoking the offer!).

In light of that experience, we encourage our clients not to hesitate to make reasonable requests.

Who are the attorneys that will work with me?

Our attorneys are highly experienced, with over a decade of expertise negotiating physician contracts.

Many have Ivy League backgrounds and personal ties to medicine, often having doctors in their immediate families, which deepens their understanding of your needs.

Collectively, they have reviewed hundred, if not thousands, of physician employment agreements and are well-versed in cultural nuances relevant to foreign-born and immigrant clients, including Indian and Canadian professionals.

Our clients’ loyalty speaks to the quality of their work. If desired, we can provide detailed credentials.

We also recommend evaluating other providers’ attorney qualifications, including education, healthcare expertise, and years of experience.

How much experience does your team have?

Our company started working with physicians more than fifteen years ago. During the time since, our team that has reviewed over 20,000 employment opportunities, that are worth over $3.6 billion in the aggregate, in every state and in every specialty.

How do you differ from other firms providing contract review services for physicians?

Physicians have several solid options for contract review. National services such as Resolve and Contract Diagnostics focus on physician contracts, and law firms such as Contract Rx and Physician Agreements Health Law offer flat-fee attorney reviews. A local health care attorney is another route.

Where we differ is the team. Most of our packages pair a financial advisor with a contract attorney, and our Elite package adds direct negotiation with your employer.

We benchmark your offer against MGMA data and our own database of thousands of physician contracts. And because we also handle disability insurance, taxes, and financial planning, your review looks at how the contract fits the rest of your finances.

Whichever firm you choose, compare attorney qualifications, turnaround time, the compensation data they use, and whether negotiation is included.This team collaborates to evaluate your compensation, review your contract, and handle direct negotiations if needed—ensuring every aspect is thoroughly addressed.

Are you a law firm?

We are not a law firm. We come from a family of physicians and award-winning wealth advisors that carefully review and select the attorneys that we partner with.

We believe in assembling the best team of professionals and maintain extremely close relationships with our attorney partners as we take our clients through the contract review and negotiation process.
