Michael Johnson Legal LLC stands out in this complex field, offering specialized, virtual support tailored to every stage of a physician’s contract journey.
1. Deep Expertise & Niche Focus
The firm was founded in 2019 by Michael Johnson, Tulane Law Class of 2014. He has practiced business, insurance, and construction litigation. What sets them apart is their exclusive focus on physician contracts, meaning every clause, benchmark, and contingency is seen through a medical professional’s lens.
2. Virtual, Accessible Service Model

3. Tailored Evaluations Grounded in Data
Physician compensation structures, especially when tied to productivity metrics, can be bewildering. The firm’s process includes comparing your offer to nationwide salary data filtered by specialty and geography to see how your proposal stacks up. This ensures you don’t just sign; you sign well.
4. Comprehensive Clarification & Negotiation
Every contract clause matters. The firm highlights crucial elements like balanced termination “without cause” provisions (ideally 90–180 days’ notice), academic versus private practice differences, and compensation triggers in physician compensation discussions.

5. Process Delivered in Clear Steps
The intake process is transparent and efficient. You begin by emailing your contract, and within about an hour, you receive a call with Michael Johnson or another experienced attorney to review your deal.
