In this episode, we’re joined by Justin Fung, General Manager and Head of Commercial and Corporate at Avant Law, one of Australia’s leading healthcare-focused law firms, designed to support doctors through every stage of their professional journey from setting up a practice to planning an exit.
Justin breaks down why malpractice isn’t the legal risk that catches most doctors off guard, how lease terms, business structures, and partnership agreements can quietly cost you six figures, and what a healthcare-savvy lawyer can offer that a generalist simply can’t.
He also explores how to approach practice sales the right way, why employment disputes are becoming more common for doctors in private practice, and how to find a legal partner who understands the medical landscape and can grow with your business.
If you want to protect your practice, avoid preventable legal mistakes, and build a future-ready medical business with confidence, then make sure to listen to this episode.
