The Carter Lemon Camerons healthcare team drafts and advises on partnership agreements to create a good foundation between GP partners of their obligations to each other, and a document which can be referred to in the event of disagreements. Understanding the joint and several liability of GP partners and the unlimited liability to the outside world is important. Unfortunately GP partners do have disagreements and the litigation team is on hand to advise and steer you through the process of disentangling partners from their partnership, to enable them to move on.

The healthcare team has expertise in advising on employment issues concerning NHS employees, salaried GPs and staff. We help you through the process of redundancies and dismissals to minimize the risk of a claim for unfair dismissal after the redundancy or dismissal. NHS employees (which includes many GP practices’ employees) have the benefit of the Whitley Council requirements which need to be observed in making payments . Also, NHS and GP employees providing NHS healthcare have special rules regarding the calculation of continuous employment, which may impact on fixed term contracts.
