Frequently Asked Questions: Physician Contract Lawyers in Wisconsin
Is it expensive to have a Wisconsin lawyer review my physician contract?
Contract review fees in Wisconsin typically range from $500 to $3,000 on a flat-rate basis. Considering that physician employment agreements often govern compensation exceeding $250,000 per year over multiple years, the cost of legal review is a small fraction of what is at stake. Many Wisconsin attorneys also offer free initial consultations.
What is tail coverage and why does it matter for Wisconsin physicians?
Tail coverage (also called an extended reporting period endorsement) protects you against malpractice claims filed after you leave a position for incidents that occurred during your employment. In Wisconsin, tail coverage can cost 1.5 to 2 times your annual malpractice premium. Who pays for tail coverage - you or your employer - is one of the most important financial terms in any physician employment contract.
Can my employer enforce a non-compete clause in my Wisconsin physician contract?
Wisconsin enforces physician non-compete agreements under Wisconsin Statute § 103.465, which requires that the agreement be necessary to protect the employer, provide reasonable restrictions, and not be harsh or oppressive. Wisconsin courts strictly construe non-competes against the employer. A Wisconsin attorney experienced with physician non-competes can evaluate whether your specific clause is likely enforceable and negotiate modifications before you sign.
Should I hire an attorney before signing a physician employment agreement in Wisconsin?
Absolutely. Physician employment agreements in Wisconsin often run 30 to 50 pages and include compensation formulas, restrictive covenants, termination clauses, and malpractice tail coverage obligations. An experienced Wisconsin healthcare attorney can identify hidden risks and help you negotiate terms that protect your income and professional flexibility.
What should I look for in a Wisconsin physician employment contract?
Key provisions include compensation structure (base salary, wRVU targets, quality bonuses), signing bonus repayment, non-compete clauses, termination provisions, tail coverage, call coverage, benefits, and restrictive covenants. A Wisconsin attorney can benchmark these against Advocate Aurora Health and regional standards.
