To properly organize a private practice, a doctor needs to take into account a number of important points. Proper legal protection of business is one of them. In order to protect yourself and your patients, as well as avoid problems related to legal issues, an entrepreneur must be familiar with the main mistakes made by business owners in the medical field.
Vladimir Musienko – lawyer, partner of the Interregional Bar Association – told estet-portal.com about the main legal problems that an entrepreneur may face.
Legal protection of business: problems faced by entrepreneurs
Our long-term practice of legal support for corporate clients operating in various sectors of the economy – starting from advertising and ending with the production sphere, allows to state that, regardless of the type of activity, legal form, economic indicators, number of employees and other factors, most companies small and medium-sized businesses have absolutely the same type of legal problems :
- standard, statutory documents that do not protect against hostile takeovers, corporate conflicts and claims of inspectors;
- standard, non-detailed lease/sublease agreements;
- improperly formalized employment/contract relations;
- lack of necessary local regulations;
- inconsistent with the actual realities of contracts for the main activity – both with suppliers and customers;
- negligent execution of primary accounting documents;
- complete lack of protection of personal data and so on.
Most small and medium-sized businesses have exactly the same type of legal problems.
The above deficiencies/gaps, if desired, may be used as detractors – competitors, raiders, laid-off employees, offended clients, and law enforcement / regulatory authorities, not only to perform their main functions (licensing, control, filling the budget), but also, it’s no secret to anyone, to solve their private tasks.
