Healthcare Professionals
At Fidlon Legal, we are uniquely qualified to represent physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and other healthcare professionals in employment matters. We understand the specific challenges facing healthcare professionals in the workplace, including patient privacy and compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). We have represented numerous healthcare professionals in connection with disciplinary investigations conducted by medical licensing boards, employment contract negotiations, employment litigation and other workplace disputes. If you are a healthcare professional in need of legal assistance negotiating your employment or separation agreement, or if you have been unfairly disciplined or terminated, or have questions concerning a non-compete or non-solicitation agreement, or if you are being investigated by a medical licensing board, please call us. Our Atlanta healthcare professional lawyers will be happy to provide you with an initial case evaluation.
