Our initial engagement involved a comprehensive review of their existing practice contract. Through this assessment, we determined that revising the current agreement would likely be more costly than drafting a new one.

After a thorough review and necessary adjustments, the finalised agreement aligned with their operational requirements, and legally protected both the doctors and the practice. The new agreement provided the clinic with a clear and structured framework, supporting their mission to deliver exceptional care with confidence and efficiency.
