"I had the pleasure of working with Nancy on a commercial lease for our Business, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. From our initial consultation to the final signing, her professionalism, deep knowledge of real estate law, and attention to detail were outstanding. What impressed me most was the clear and consistent communication. She took the time to walk me through all clause of the lease on which we had concerns, answered all my questions promptly, and made sure I fully understood my rights and obligations and also suggested modification which would help me as a Tenant. Her expertise helped negotiate favorable terms and avoid potential pitfalls I wouldn’t have caught on my own. If you're looking for a real estate attorney who combines strong legal skills with excellent client service, I highly recommend Nancy. She made a potentially stressful process feel smooth and secure."

Employment Agreement

Iowa

Asked on Feb 17, 2022

My wife & I thought we had a contract from her employer to buy A dental practice after working for them for three years. We now were forced to sign a contract with the people that bought him out to continue working for them so they can get 10x EBITA when they sell shortly. Do we have a case for lost wages?

We moved from 30 miles away because we were told if we worked for 3 years we could buy it for $525,000. They now want $2.5M.

Melissa L.

Answered Feb 18, 2022

The first question is do you have a fully executed written contract? This is the first step to determine the terms and conditions such as your wages if there is a breach of contract, the dentist being able to assign the contract and if it can be modified.

Physician Employment Agreement

Florida

Asked on Jul 7, 2023

Are physician employment agreements required?

I am a physician who is considering a new job opportunity. I have been presented with an employment agreement, but I am unsure if I am legally obligated to sign it. I am looking for guidance on the legality of physician employment agreements and whether or not I am required to sign one.

Daniel D.

Answered Jul 18, 2023

Physician employment agreements are not required by Law but that does not mean they are not required by the Employer. Employers have these agreements in place to set the terms of the employment regarding salary, length of employment and any other relevant terms that they want the employee to agree to. But, that also means you as the employee could negotiate provisions into the agreement that you want if the employer is willing to put them in. You legally don't have to sign one, but your future employer can still require a signed agreement. Before you sign anything you should make sure you understand the terms and provisions of the agreement.

Dental Associate Contract

Washington

Asked on Jul 17, 2023

Dental associate contract malpractice insurance?

I recently signed a dental associate contract with a practice in my local area. I am concerned about the malpractice insurance that is included in the contract, as I am not sure if the coverage is adequate. I am also unsure of the type of insurance that is provided and what it covers. I would like to know what the risks are in regards to my malpractice insurance and how I can ensure that I am properly protected.

Merry K.

Answered Aug 15, 2023

I am a WA State attorney. For starters, obtain a copy of your policy, print it, and read it carefully, using a yellow highlighter to highlight your questions/concerns, while making notes on a notepad. Check with independent malpractice insurers in WA to determine typical amounts of coverage in your field and county. Consider buying more on your own and/or an umbrella policy. Check with instructors, mentors, and colleagues in your field to seek guidance on adequate coverage.

Severance Agreement

Ohio

Asked on Jun 3, 2025

Can my employer modify the terms of my severance agreement after I have signed it?

I recently signed a severance agreement with my employer, which outlined the terms and conditions of my departure from the company, including a monetary compensation package. However, my employer has now informed me that they want to modify certain aspects of the agreement. I am unsure if they have the legal right to do so, and I am seeking clarification on whether my employer can make changes to the severance agreement after it has been signed.

Gary S.

Answered Jul 11, 2025

Hello. Thank you for the opportunity to respond to this question. In general, NO, once a severance agreement has been signed by both the employer and the employee, the agreement cannot be modified. However, if the employer hasn't yet signed the agreement, and only the employee has signed the agreement, the employer may suggest modified terms as part of the negotiation. Also, if the agreement has been executed by both parties and the agreement contains a revocation period, the employee (or possibly the employer) may still be able to revoke the agreement within a certain number of days. The agreement would have to be reviewed to see if it has a revocation clause. Bottom line, if both parties have signed a validly executed severance agreement, the employer cannot unilaterally modify the terms of the agreement, unless the agreement states otherwise. * This response is for general information purposes only and does not constitute legal advice or create an attorney-client relationship. For advice specific to your situation, please consult a qualified attorney.
