About this listen
In this follow-up episode of Group Practice, host Neal Goldstein addresses listener feedback about non-competes in physician practices. He tackles three key questions: Are non-competes ever appropriate? What’s the point of enforcing them if they’re often struck down? And what alternatives exist?
Neal argues non-competes remain appropriate in several contexts: competing against hospital systems, PE-backed practice sales, groups with exclusive hospital contracts, and specialties with high capital costs. He emphasizes that despite headlines suggesting otherwise, non-competes are still being enforced and represent valuable contractual rights worth protecting.
For practices seeking alternatives, Neal offers practical strategies: conditioning tail coverage on non-competition, structuring severance with clawback provisions, strengthening non-solicitation clauses, and negotiating robust no-hire provisions in hospital contracts.
