Non-GP Specialists

Legal advice for specialists establishing or restructuring consulting practices, including structuring, governance arrangements and building a strong legal foundation for private practice.

For Non-GP specialists, setting out how your practice operates and how income is shared is critical. We help structure service entities and ownership arrangements that support clarity and long-term stability.

Specialists often lease or sublease consulting rooms within shared suites. We assist with negotiating and reviewing arrangements to ensure your occupancy terms are clear and workable.

Specialist practices rely on well managed workplaces. We assist with staff training, resolving disputes and conducting workplace investigations when issues arise.

Whether consulting independently or within a group practice, we prepare clear consulting and contractor agreements that define billing arrangements, responsibilities and working relationships.

Working with hospitals and day surgeries often involves complex commercial and facility arrangements. We help specialists review and negotiate terms that support their consulting practice.

From acquiring an established specialist practice to buying into an existing consulting group, we help specialists structure and negotiate arrangements that support long term success.

Operating a specialist practice involves navigating complex healthcare and privacy obligations. We assist specialists in managing regulatory requirements affecting their consulting practice.

Planning for the future of a specialist practice is essential. We assist with succession planning and ownership transitions to ensure continuity for the practice and its patients.
