Our capabilities in our chosen fields rival those of larger firms, but we do not see ourselves as a replacement for Big Law. We’re the alternative.

Health Care Law

Often, the law behind the business of medicine can rival the complexity of the practice itself. Experience keeps our clients both compliant and untangled so they can focus on what matters most – their patients.

Our client list hails from all ends of the health care spectrum, including physicians, medical practices, dentists, management companies and clinical research entities. Servicing the needs of such a broad range of clients within the field demands a nimble staff committed to expertise in existing and emerging industry trends, as well as looking forward to key legal decisions and obstacles that can affect how our clients do business.

Practice Formation and Licensure

Our firm offers extensive experience in counseling physicians and dentists with respect to organizational and licensing issues, risk reduction and avoidance, contractual relationships with third party payers and other issues peculiarly affecting health care providers.

Regulatory Compliance (Stark, Anti-Kickback, HIPAA)

Wall Esleeck Babcock provides advice to physicians, practice management companies and others in the health care sector with respect to HIPAA, Stark, anti-kickback, and other regulatory paradigms affecting health care providers. Our team offers the expertise needed to guide our clients through the highly complex issues and laws associated with healthcare regulatory compliance.

Physician Employment Agreements

We have assisted literally hundreds of physicians and medical practices with respect to physician employment agreements and relocation agreements. Our attorneys have vast experience in negotiating non-compete covenants as well as severance agreements.

Our firm’s Jim Wall was a featured speaker at the 2004 Physicians Organization conference of the American Health Lawyers Association on the topic of Physician Employment Agreements and is a frequent contributor to MD News.

Health Care Contracts

We assist health care providers in a myriad of relationships, from employment relationships and medical director agreements to strategic alliances with health care systems. We have represented physicians who joint venture with both health care systems and non-providers. We have extensive experience in representing physicians and management companies with respect to the Corporate Practice Doctrine in North Carolina. We also represent physicians and their practices with respect to third-party contracts with service providers.

Management Service Organizations

Central to our work is representing management services organizations with respect to the corporate practice of medicine in the State of North Carolina. We also represent licensed healthcare providers with respect to their relationships with managed services organizations.
