Deciding to leave a private practice and how to manage existing clients can be a complex decision. Consider the following:
• Any existing contractual obligations including a non-solicitation or non-compete clause.
• Autonomy and self-determination. Clients should have the right to choose their provider and asking them to follow you may create a situation where they feel unduly influenced and unable to exercise autonomy.
Consulting a lawyer with these types of contractual questions is always advised.
