Stage 2: Due Diligence $10,000+

Stage 3: Purchase Agreement $15,000+

With this Suite, you get expert guidance at every stage, a tiered payment structure to reduce risk, and a personalized system that ensures both buyers and sellers are fully prepared and protected.

StartUpShield​

Comprehensive Business Formation Protection Suite

Multi-Owner Practice Protection

$7,500 flat fee. One time.

Healthcare Partnership Prenups for Practice Owners Who Refuse to Let a Judge Decide Their Future.

Your Practice Needs a Prenup. Before you open your doors, you need answers to the questions that cause the most practice disputes: What happens if owners disagree? What happens if an owner leaves, retires, becomes disabled, loses their license, or passes away? What if you want to be bought out, but you can’t agree on buy-sell terms? If these issues are not documented, a judge may end up deciding them for you. Our Multi-Owner Practice Protection Suite creates a customized legal framework that protects your business, your investment, and your relationships before disputes arise. What's Included: ✅ Georgia business formation for your multi-member LLC or multi-shareholder professional corporation ✅ Comprehensive Operating Agreement or Shareholder Agreement customized to your ownership structure, compensation model, and long-term goals ✅ Management and control provisions establishing who has authority to make decisions and what happens when owners disagree ✅ Deadlock resolution procedures designed to prevent operational paralysis when partners cannot reach consensus ✅ Buy-sell provisions addressing owner departures, retirement, disability, death, loss of licensure, and voluntary exits ✅ Profit distribution and dividend frameworks clarifying when and how owners receive compensation ✅ Fiduciary duty and owner responsibility provisions establishing expectations and accountability among owners ✅ Board resolutions, organizational documents, and governance tools to support compliance and operational efficiency ✅ Practice-specific legal risk assessment identifying your highest-risk vulnerabilities and recommended corrective actions Most business protection systems range from 60 to 100+ pages depending on ownership structure, compensation arrangements, and operational complexity. Timeline: 3–4 Weeks Why It Matters: The most expensive business documents are the ones you never put in place. Without a comprehensive ownership agreement, disputes over management authority, compensation, profit distributions, owner exits, voting rights, and business control can quickly escalate into litigation. This suite functions as a business prenup for your practice, creating clear expectations before conflict arises so your business can continue operating when life, relationships, and circumstances change.

AuditShield​

Annual Compliance Review

$7,500 flat fee. One time.

Know exactly where your compliance gaps are—and how to fix them before regulators or patients find them first.

Most Georgia practices don’t realize they’re out of compliance until it’s too late—when a patient complaint, HIPAA breach, or audit triggers costly penalties. AuditShield transforms uncertainty into clarity by pinpointing your biggest compliance risks and giving you a clear, prioritized roadmap to protect your practice before problems escalate. What’s included: ✅In-depth compliance review for one practice type and location (Primary Care, Specialty Care, MedSpa, or ABA Practice) ✅Assessment of the five most commonly noncompliant areas for Georgia medical practices: 1) HIPAA & Patient Data Management 2) Workforce & Independent Contractor (1099) Compliance 3) Patient Consent Forms & Procedures 4) Advertising & Online Marketing Compliance 5) Georgia Regulatory Rules — including the Georgia Medical Practice Act, Esthetician Policies, and Georgia Nursing Practice Act, etc. ✅Review of your written protocols, forms, and internal procedures ✅2-hour Compliance Review Intensive with your attorney to discuss findings, top risks, and tailored recommendations ✅Compliance Audit Report ranking each compliance gap by priority—so you know exactly where to focus first Timeline: Fourteen (14) days 1) Pay (2 clicks) – secure your spot and lock in your review date. 2) Upload your compliance documents & any questions for review. 3) Schedule your 2-hour Compliance Review Intensive within 7 days. 4) Receive your Compliance Audit to guide next steps and minimize risk. 5) Use your results to plan future legal work strategically and keep your practice inspection-ready all year long. Why it matters: Georgia regulators are increasingly focused on medical practice compliance—from HIPAA privacy breaches to improper advertising of medical aesthetics and telehealth. Even a single oversight can trigger board discipline, civil penalties, or insurance issues. With AuditShield, you’ll stop guessing and start leading a compliant, audit-ready practice that’s built to thrive.

ContractorShield​

Independent Contractor Compliance System

$5,000 flat fee. One time.

Engage contractors safely. Protect your license and revenue.

This suite ensures your contractor relationships are legally sound and HIPAA-compliant. Includes a custom Business Associate Agreement (BAA) addressing the most heavily disputed terms — like how responsibility is handled in the event of a breach or misuse of PHI. You’ll receive: ✅Custom contractor agreements with role-specific clauses and SOW templates ✅Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with clear data-use and breach provisions ✅Contractor classification checklist ✅Explainer video walking through implementation and red-flag clauses ✅Risk analysis explaining your top risks in order of priority and recommendations to fix them Timeline: Typically completed in 7-10 days. Why it matters: Misclassification and BAA disputes can cost six figures — this suite keeps you fully compliant while maintaining flexibility in how you staff your practice.

DataShield​

HIPAA Defense System

$5,000 flat fee. One time.

Full-spectrum privacy protection for modern healthcare practices.

Most HIPAA penalties do not happen because a practice intended to violate the law. They happen because no one documented the rules, trained the staff, assigned responsibility, or knew what to do when an incident occurred. If a patient files a complaint, an employee mishandles protected health information, or a data breach occurs, regulators will want to see more than good intentions. They will want to see your compliance system. The DataShield HIPAA Defense System helps healthcare and wellness practices build the policies, procedures, training, and documentation necessary to reduce risk and demonstrate compliance before a problem arises. What's Included: ✅ Custom HIPAA Policies & Procedures tailored to your practice operations, workforce, and services ✅ Compliance Leadership Framework establishing designated Privacy and Security Officer responsibilities ✅ Workforce Training System including staff training guidance, acknowledgment forms, and compliance documentation tools ✅ Patient Privacy Documentation including Notice of Privacy Practices guidance and informed consent resources ✅ Reporting & Investigation Procedures including duty-to-report workflows and non-retaliation protections ✅ Enforcement Standards establishing disciplinary procedures and corrective action protocols for workforce violations ✅ Auditing & Monitoring Tools including compliance tracking, internal audit templates, and documentation systems ✅ Breach Response Framework outlining investigation procedures, response protocols, and corrective action planning ✅ Emergency Preparedness and Contingency Planning resources designed to support operational continuity ✅ Practice-specific HIPAA Risk Assessment identifying your highest-priority compliance vulnerabilities and recommended corrective actions ✅ Leadership and staff explainer videos designed to simplify implementation and improve adoption Timeline: 2–3 Weeks Why It Matters A HIPAA investigation is not the time to discover your compliance program is incomplete. When regulators investigate a complaint, breach, or security incident, they often request policies, training records, compliance documentation, audit records, and evidence that your practice actively maintains its HIPAA program. Without those systems in place, even a small incident can become an expensive and time-consuming compliance problem. DataShield helps you build the documentation, processes, and accountability systems needed to reduce risk, strengthen compliance, and respond with confidence if your practice is ever questioned.

StartUpShield​

Comprehensive Business Formation Protection Suite

Managed Services Organization (MSO) Practice Protection

$15,000 flat fee. One time.

Build Your MSO Structure Correctly Before Regulators, Investors, or Business Partners Question It.

An MSO structure can create tremendous flexibility for growth, operations, and investment opportunities. It can also create significant regulatory risk if the management company and clinical entity are not properly structured and documented. Many MSO arrangements fail because the parties focus on forming entities rather than creating a compliant operational framework. Our MSO Practice Protection Suite provides the legal foundation, governance structure, and regulatory framework necessary to support a compliant Georgia healthcare business. What's Included: ✅ Formation of both the clinical entity and management services organization ✅ Customized operating agreements and governance documents for each entity ✅ Comprehensive Management Services Agreement tailored to your operational model ✅ Regulatory guidance regarding ownership, management authority, compensation arrangements, and compliance considerations ✅ Long-form MSO agreement designed to support Georgia regulatory requirements and Board expectations ✅ Management and control provisions clearly defining responsibilities between the clinical and management entities ✅ Compensation and fee structure frameworks addressing management services and operational support ✅ Governance documents, board resolutions, and organizational records supporting ongoing compliance ✅ Risk mitigation provisions designed to address ownership transitions, operational disputes, and management disagreements ✅ Practice-specific legal risk assessment identifying your highest-priority compliance and operational risks Most MSO legal frameworks range from 60 to 100+ pages depending on ownership structure, operational complexity, and service arrangements. Timeline: 3–4 Weeks Why It Matters: An MSO structure is only as strong as the agreements supporting it. Poorly documented MSO arrangements can create disputes between owners, confusion over operational authority, regulatory scrutiny, and significant business interruption when relationships change. This suite creates a complete legal framework that clearly defines ownership, management responsibilities, financial arrangements, and operational authority so your practice can grow with confidence while maintaining a compliant foundation.

SeveranceShield​

Protect Your Future with Expert Severance Agreement Review and Negotiation

$5,500 flat fee. One time.

Get the strongest severance package possible—with clear advice, confident negotiation, and protection against unfair terms.

Facing a severance agreement without expert guidance can leave you vulnerable to losing thousands in pay, benefits, and future job opportunities. SeveranceShield transforms uncertainty into confidence by providing personalized legal counsel and expert negotiation, so you walk away with the best possible severance package tailored to your needs. What’s included: ✅Comprehensive review of severance agreements up to 50 pages ✅Custom legal advice tailored to your case strengths and potential outcomes under Georgia law ✅Detailed payout recommendation to maximize your severance compensation ✅Active negotiation with your employer or their counsel for up to 45 days ✅Drafting, redlining, and editing of your severance agreement to align with your personal and professional goals Timeline: Initial review and counsel delivered within 5 business days; Up to 45 days of negotiation and back-and-forth communications Why it matters: Navigating a severance agreement alone—or relying on generic templates—can cost you thousands in lost pay and benefits. Georgia’s employment laws are complex and rapidly evolving, especially regarding restrictive covenants and employee rights. SeveranceShield provides expert guidance and proactive advocacy to ensure your severance package protects your financial future and career options without surprises.

Healthcare Compliance Service FAQs

1) How much time will this take for my practice?

We designed these Suites to respect your time. Most of the client-side work—our intake forms—can be completed in 10 minutes or less, and you don’t need a law degree. From there, we handle the heavy lifting: drafting, reviewing, and customizing your Suite so you can get back to your patients and team without getting bogged down.

3) How quickly will I get my legal compliance system?

Once you submit your intake forms, we provide the first draft of your Suite in just 10 days. We go through up to two rounds of revisions to ensure your Suite perfectly fits your practice. No cookie-cutter systems here—everything is tailored to your team, workflows, and regulatory needs.

5) Are these Suites really tailored to my practice?

Absolutely. Each Suite is customized based on your intake forms and practice details. We consider your team structure, patient interactions, contracts, and workflows to make sure your legal protections are specific, enforceable, and practical. Think of it as a legal system built for your practice, not a one-size-fits-all template.

7) What is a Legal Protection Suite, and how is it different from a basic contract template?

A Legal Protection Suite is more than a single contract—it’s a complete system designed to protect your medical practice. We don’t just hand you a document and leave you on your own. Instead, we think about the full picture: how each document interacts with your team, workflows, and compliance obligations. For example, an employment contract alone isn’t enough if your offer letters, disclosures, and onboarding processes aren’t aligned. A Legal Protection Suite gives you everything you need to reduce that risk: contracts, policies, templates, instructions, and practical guidance for implementing them in your existing tech systems. We approach the law from three angles—legal, practical, and compliance—so you’re not just “covered on paper.” You get a tailored, step-by-step system that actually works in your practice to keep you protected, compliant, and confident.

2) How much do these Suites cost, and are they worth it?

The investment for our Suites begin at $5,000, with some more complex options priced higher for comprehensive coverage. While templates online or AI-generated documents may seem cheaper, they don’t offer attorney-reviewed compliance, ongoing updates, or protections specific to Georgia healthcare law. Investing in a Suite today saves thousands in potential fines, audits, or disputes down the road—and gives you peace of mind that your practice is legally sound.

4) How are these Suites different from buying templates online or asking AI?

There’s a huge difference. Templates and AI can’t provide: ✅ Attorney-client privilege or expert legal guidance specific to your practice ✅ Customized compliance systems that ensure each clause works for your specialty and team ✅ Answers to what’s allowed by current regulations and recent law changes With a Practice Protection Suite, you get a personalized relationship with a healthcare law expert, so your documents actually work in real-world practice, not just on paper.

6) What happens after I get my Suite?

You’ll have everything you need to implement immediately, plus access to ongoing guidance and updates as regulations change (if you so choose). We make it easy to stay compliant without worrying about constantly monitoring legal requirements yourself.

8) I’m overwhelmed—will I be able to handle this?

Yes! I know how busy healthcare providers are. That’s why I designed this system to be fast, simple, and approachable. You answer a few quick questions, we do the legal heavy lifting, and we make sure your Suite fits your practice without creating more work for you.
