Contracts & working relationships
Review and negotiation of provider, employment, vendor, and other business agreements, with attention to obligations, payment, termination, and risk.

How the firm can help
Counsel that gets to know your operation.
An ongoing relationship creates continuity across everyday questions and larger decisions. The engagement is built around your needs and a defined scope.
Operational & regulatory questions
Advice on policies, records and privacy questions, and legal issues that arise in running a healthcare practice or facility.
Ownership & business decisions
Help evaluating governance, management arrangements, new services, and growth plans before commitments are made.
Deeper issues & special projects
Identify when a question calls for additional research, a transaction project, or coordination with another professional.
What to expect
Agree on the relationship before the work begins.
We discuss your organization, recurring needs, and priorities, then define the services and fee arrangement in writing.
The engagement explains what is covered, how requests are handled, and when a larger project requires a separate scope. Ongoing counsel does not mean unlimited services or round-the-clock availability.
What the work may include
- Contract comments, revisions, and negotiation support.
- Written analysis of an operational, governance, or regulatory question.
- Advice on priorities and follow-up steps within the agreed scope.
Deliverables depend on the agreed engagement; not every item is included in every project.
Work is handled by Malcolm Freeman, a Florida attorney with business, occupational-therapy, and healthcare-administration training. Meet your attorney.
Common questions
Before we begin.
Is this only for large organizations?
No. An ongoing relationship may suit a smaller practice with recurring legal needs as well as a facility operator. The fit depends on the work, not just the size of the business.
Can I start with one project?
Yes. A defined project can be an appropriate starting point. An ongoing arrangement is discussed only if it makes sense for your needs.
How are fees and larger matters handled?
Fees, included services, and the treatment of additional projects are agreed in writing. A recurring arrangement does not automatically include litigation, acquisitions, or other substantial matters.
Your next step
Let’s talk about what you need.
A continuing relationship or a focused project starts with a conversation about your needs, timing, and the appropriate scope of work.
