Employment Contract and Practice Acquisition Review Service
Employment Contract Review Services
The Michigan Osteopathic Association’s legal counsel, Kerr Russell, is pleased to offer MOA members a discounted, fixed-fee employment contract review service, designed to make obtaining the protections gained by an attorney affordable.
Employment Contract Review Service
Kerr Russell commits to review an MOA member’s employment contract, provide a written list of comments (i.e. items that should be changed, negotiated and/or removed) and consult with the MOA member by phone for a fixed fee of $1,200. These legal services would commence upon conflict clearance, the signing of a standard engagement letter and payment of the fixed fee amount as a retainer.
Additional Services
Kerr Russell helps health care professionals and businesses confidently navigate the full spectrum of legal issues affecting their practice, including malpractice defense and other litigation, audit consultation, corporate and tax, real estate, employment, and estate planning law. Legal services not included in the Employment Contract Review Service above are also available on a discounted hourly rate for MOA members, pursuant to a separate engagement letter.

To inquire about obtaining discounted legal service as an MOA member, please contact Daniel J. Schulte, head of Kerr Russell's health care group, at dschulte@kerr-russell.com or (313) 961-0200.
