Today, Michael Byrd and Bradford Adatto, both of ByrdAdatto law firm, join us as we discuss employment contracts. Whether you're embarking on a new job opportunity as a physician, or seeking to understand your current employment situation better, understanding the ins and outs of employment contracts is crucial, and this episode promises to equip you with the knowledge and insights to navigate your employment contracts effectively.

Bradford E. Adatto decided to become a lawyer during sixth-grade Career Day, when he promised to represent his best friend, a future doctor. A few decades and many miles later, he started his own law firm that focused on representing health care and corporate clients. And yes, his best friend from sixth grade is among them. Brad’s background is in regulatory, transactional, and securities law. Having worked in health care law his entire career, he has an in-depth knowledge of the “do’s and don’ts” of this heavily regulated industry. As the son of a medical doctor and grandson of a medical doctor and dentist, Brad has the health care industry in his blood. He enjoys helping his clients build successful businesses by showing them how to avoid legal problems, create new opportunities, develop new partnerships, and form new entities.
