With decades of experience in medicine and law, Dr. Churchwell provides physicians with discreet, strategic counsel designed to protect not only their professional interests but also their personal legacy.
We provide comprehensive representation across all major areas of physician-focused law, including:

Healthcare compliance laws can be complex and costly if overlooked. We help physicians stay compliant with Anti-Kickback Statutes, Stark Law, and other regulations to safeguard your practice.

From planning a smooth transition to resolving conflicts among partners, we draft and negotiate agreements that protect your rights and minimize disruption to your practice.
Mergers & Acquisitions
