Independent optometry practice counsel
Starting an Optometry Practice
Opening a practice is exciting. It also creates legal and business decisions that can have consequences for years.
Commercial lease
The lease can be one of the largest long-term obligations of a startup. We focus on permitted use, build-out, exclusivity, signage, assignment, guarantees and exit rights.
Associates and employees
Employment agreements, compensation arrangements, restrictive covenants and policies should fit the business you are actually building.
Financing and vendors
Review financing documents, equipment and laboratory agreements, technology contracts and other major startup commitments.
Managed care and operations
Provider agreements and vision-plan relationships can have major economic implications for a new optometry practice.
