After our recent presentation, Physician Owner Mindset, Compliance Guardrails: Growth Without the Gotchas, at the American Alliance of Orthopaedic Executives on April 21, we wanted to share some practical insights on incentive design, deal structure, and how these issues surface in transactions and enforcement—key topics we touched on in our discussion. We think you will find these articles beneficial in navigating the ever-changing landscape you face (alternate: the industry faces) today.

1. “Common” Isn’t a Safe Harbor in Deals and JVs

2. The Productivity Trap in Compensation Plans

3. The Deal Can Die in the Deck

4. The Call You Hope Never Comes (and the Emails That Trigger It)

5. This Comes Back Later in Audits and Diligence

6. Documentation as Defense: What “Good” Looks Like in Practice

Questions about how these issues apply to your compensation model, transaction, or compliance program? Reach out to Hal Katz or Jonathan Porter, or your Husch Blackwell attorney.
