Richard Romero joins Mark Reiboldt to explore non-compete and other restrictive covenants in the healthcare industry. Richard explains the purpose and the value of these restrictive covenants.
There are three types of restrictive covenants: non-compete agreements, non-solicitation agreements, and non-disclosure agreements. Depending on who you ask, these covenants can be a tool to protect the business or perceived as a way to limit a physician’s ability to choose their employer.
