Direct answers to the structural, transactional, and litigation questions Michigan owners ask most often.
Direct ownership of a clinical medical practice in Michigan is restricted to licensed physicians under the corporate practice of medicine doctrine and MCL 450.4904. Non-physician investors typically hold equity in a Management Services Organization (MSO) that owns real estate, equipment, and administrative infrastructure under a compliant management agreement.
Michigan enforces reasonable post-employment restrictive covenants under MCL 445.774a when tailored in duration, geographic radius, and clinical specialty to protect legitimate patient goodwill and confidential operational records.
Each clinic property should sit in a dedicated single-purpose real estate LLC leasing space at documented fair market value to the operating practice or MSO, preventing premises or lender claims from reaching clinical receivables.
