Ross Clark Email & Phone Number

I am a partner, lead the GP team at Hempsons and am recognised nationally as one of the leading lawyers in GP work. I have devised several of the evolving models for GPs to work together at scale and integrate within the wider Integrated Care Systems across the country. Most notably, I devised the structure and drafted the partnership deed for Our Health Partnership, the largest single partnership in the UK combining 37 practices with over 175 Partners and serving around 358,000 patients. I specialise in partnership dispute work and have recently handled several complex and high value instructions, representing clients at several mediations and arbitrations but settling many more disputes before they reach that stage. I work with several primary care networks and GP federations / provider companies to identify how they can work together to jointly deliver the Network Contract DES services, in particular to resolve the issues related to the employment of the Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme staff and, more recently, the Covid vaccination Collaboration Agreements. I have also advised Integrated Care Boards on key strategic issues such as GP practice closures, remedial and termination notices and on their delegated primary care commissioning powers, including in particular compliance with NHS England’s Primary Medical Care Policy and Guidance Manual.

Listed skills include Corporate Law, Restructuring, Joint Ventures, Corporate Finance, and 8 others.
