Med Spa Services

At Mooradian Law, we advise med spa owners, licensed practitioners, and management companies on the legal and regulatory issues that arise throughout the life of a med spa business. From initial structuring to growth, restructuring, and eventual wind-down, we help clients navigate a highly regulated space with clarity and confidence.

Med spas operate at the intersection of healthcare and consumer services. That creates opportunity, but also regulatory complexity. Our role is to help clients build, operate, and exit med spa businesses in a way that is compliant, defensible, and aligned with their long-term goals.

Our Expertise

Our team has extensive experience working with med spas and the professionals who support them. We regularly advise on matters involving:

Corporate Practice of Medicine and MSO Structures: Structuring med spas to comply with state corporate practice of medicine rules, including physician-owned professional entities and management services organizations.
Physician Relationships and Clinical Oversight: Advising on physician involvement, supervision, delegation, and the allocation of clinical versus non-clinical authority within compliant business models.
Financial and Compensation Arrangements: Structuring management fees and related financial arrangements with attention to fee-splitting restrictions, fair market value principles, and regulatory risk.
Regulatory and Operational Considerations: Identifying legal issues that arise from day-to-day operations, including staffing models, prescribing practices, facility considerations, medical waste, and privacy obligations.
Advertising and Risk Management: Advising on marketing, patient communications, and consent practices with an eye toward consumer protection laws, professional discipline risk, and enforcement trends.

Our Services

We provide comprehensive legal support tailored to the needs of med spas at every stage, including:

Business Formation and Structuring: Assisting with entity formation, MSO arrangements, and ownership structures designed to comply with applicable law while supporting operational goals.
Contract Drafting and Review: Preparing and reviewing key agreements such as management agreements, medical director agreements, employment and independent contractor agreements, and vendor contracts.

Regulatory Compliance and Risk Assessment: Helping clients identify and manage legal risks related to supervision, delegation, prescribing, advertising, privacy, and operational practices.
Growth, Restructuring, and Transitions: Advising on expansions, ownership changes, physician transitions, and strategic adjustments as a med spa evolves.
Wind-Down and Exit Planning: Assisting clients in evaluating and managing the legal considerations involved in closing or transitioning med spa operations in an orderly and compliant manner.
