Tip of the Month
Dear California Doctors:
Before entering into any type of service contract with any type of vendor such as equipment or sales
companies, make sure the contract is governed by the laws of the State of California. Most of these
types of contracts have hidden provisions, typically on the back side of the page locking you into
bizarre state laws from states like Texas or Louisiana. Since you are in California, the contracts you
enter into should be governed by California law so you do not have to pursue your rights in some
other state. As you can imagine, this can be a serious problem especially if the vendor has breached
the contract. Even if a proposed service contract names a non-California venue, you should be able
to negotiate and switch the venue to California law. For more information on this topic or to have
service contract reviewed, please contact Jennifer Ellis, Esq. at jellis@goldmanlawfirm.net
