Physician Employment Contract Attorney
Review. Negotiate. Protect Your Career.
For more than thirty years, Brian Romanowsky has helped physicians evaluate employment agreements, negotiate better terms, respond to contract changes, and navigate career transitions.
Physicians are asked to make career decisions based upon contracts that often contain complex compensation formulas, restrictive covenants, termination provisions, and employer-controlled amendment clauses. A single unfavorable provision can impact your compensation, professional autonomy, and future career opportunities.
Brian Romanowsky personally reviews every physician contract. He provides detailed written comments identifying legal risks, negotiation opportunities, and practical concerns that may affect your professional future. He then discusses those comments with you and helps you determine how best to proceed.
Whether you are considering a new position, renegotiating an existing agreement, evaluating a contract amendment, or planning a departure from your current employer, Romanowsky Law can help.
