This depends on your state's requirements for PT practice ownership. Some states require professional entity structures, while others allow standard LLCs. Your lawyer can help navigate ownership rules and choose a structure that provides liability protection and tax efficiency.
Key terms include compensation model (salary, production-based, or hybrid), patient caseload expectations, continuing education provisions, non-compete clauses, and termination terms. Clear agreements help attract and retain quality clinicians.
