Unlike general commercial businesses, GP partnerships require legal advice that considers:
NHS GMS, PMS, and APMS contract requirements
Premises funding, notional rent, and reimbursement structures
Partnership disputes and regulatory oversight
Succession planning and partner retirement
Recruitment and retention of salaried GPs
Our advice is clear, actionable, and aligned with your clinical responsibilities and strategic goals. We work in partnership with you to protect and future-proof your practice.
We support GP partnerships through every stage of their evolution—from drafting new partnership agreements to resolving disputes and advising on admissions, retirements, and exits. Whether your structure is traditional, federated, or part of a PCN, we ensure your legal arrangements are compliant, resilient, and forward-thinking.
In collaboration with Tees’ financial advisers, we can also support you with pensions planning and financial strategies for GP organisations, providing a truly joined-up service.
Our multi-disciplinary team provides expert legal support across:
GP Premises, including notional rent, property ownership disputes, surgery developments, lease negotiations, and NHS England premises directions.
Employment law, covering issues such as TUPE in practice mergers, managing clinical and non-clinical staff, disciplinary procedures, and drafting contracts that meet the unique operational needs of GP settings. Dispute resolution, exit negotiations and drafting and advising on Settlement Agreements.
Data protection and GDPR Compliance, ensuring adherence to data handling, privacy policies, and safeguarding client information, including drafting policies and procedures, privacy notices, and providing manager training to promote awareness and compliance.

Tracey Dickens was recommended to me by a close friend, a GP who had sought her advice in relation to a thorny partnership issue and had a quick resolution to the problem. As this was after obtaining initial advice from another local solicitor which was less than straightforward, he was impressed and recommended her to sort out my issue with a previous partner who was refusing to pay out my portion of the partnership profits after leaving a practice. Within a week, Tracey and her team suggested a clear solution which was highly impressive, the application of which resulted in an exceptionally successful result.
General practice isn’t just a business—it’s a vital part of the healthcare system with specific legal, regulatory, and operational demands.
