Medical Partnership Law

DR Solicitors expertise in medical partnership law is unrivalled. We act for medical practices throughout England and Wales, and are acknowledged by both the legal and the medical professions as one of the leading GP partnership firms in the country.

GP partnership law is a highly specialised area because of the impact of the GMS, PMS and APMS regulations. An understanding of this interrelationship and the wider business and political environment within which primary care operates is critical to properly protecting a medical partnership.

Whilst any partnership would be well advised to have a well drawn up partnership deed to set out the ‘rules’ of the business, this is particularly important for medical partnerships. Without such a document the departure of a partner can trigger the termination of the GMS or PMS contract and the end of the business. This has become all too common over recent years and yet is entirely avoidable.

Our services for medical partnerships include:

• Medical Partnership agreements (PMS, GMS & APMS)
• Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs)
• ‘Fixed Share’ and ‘salaried’ partnership agreements
• Partner admissions & departures
• NHS 24 Hour retirements
• Partners’ performance & disciplinary issues
• Expulsion and dissolution notices
• Partnership Dispute resolution
  (including mediation and arbitration)
