Legal allies defending your peace of mind.
Lawyers for Therapists.
Welcome!
Whether you’re just starting your private practice, have been at it for years, or own a group practice, one thing is clear: even healers need support.
You’ve worked hard to become an expert in your field and navigate the challenges of running a business. But inevitably, complex questions arise—ones that Google doesn’t have the answers to.
Should I structure my business as an LLC, PLLC, or something else? Do I even need to organize it legally?
How do I avoid legal issues when managing staff? Are internet templates reliable for employment contracts?
What are my first steps after being served a subpoena?
Are the template forms from my EHR software enough to keep me compliant with my state laws and license type?
What should I do in duty-to-warn situations that blur the lines of ethical standards?
If I need to let a staff member go, what can I do to limit the risk of legal disputes?
Sound familiar? These are just a few of the complex, nuanced issues you may face. Think about how tailored your care is for your clients—each case unique, each solution carefully considered. Legal matters are no different. That’s where we come in.
