Allocate clinical, operational, staffing, procurement and financial responsibilities clearly between owner and manager. Review authority, performance measures, liability, records and termination. Coordinate legal drafting with professional and technical requirements rather than assuming that a management agreement transfers every regulatory responsibility.

Identify the provider, services, facilities, personnel and issue requiring advice. Review the relevant contracts, authorisations and operational responsibilities with appropriate professional input. Legal advice should distinguish clinical or technical assessment from questions about licensing, employment, payment and contractual liability.

Identify the client, relevant file, proposed transaction or administrative issue and the outcome sought. Review the authority documents and correspondence and agree the required representation, submissions and follow-up. Counsel can assist the client in dealings with the Ministry of Health; this does not imply appointment as that body’s own adviser or a guarantee of approval.

Obtain the decision and evidence of notification, identify the available challenge route and confirm its deadline promptly. Preserve earlier submissions and the factual grounds for the challenge.

Identify the request, relevant file and outcome sought. Prepare an authorised submission with indexed supporting records and retain evidence of delivery and the formal response.

Map the client’s activities and relevant decisions or conditions. Reconcile the corporate, contractual and technical records and identify outstanding requirements, responsible persons and follow-up actions.

Identify whether the activity concerns a facility, professional service, medicine, medical device or distribution business. Map the applicant, products, premises and responsible authority before preparing the appropriate file. Coordinate technical and professional evidence with the legal documents. Company registration and approval of a particular product or facility should be treated as separate workstreams.

Describe the entity, activities, premises and proposed operating model before mapping the responsible authorities. Review existing permissions, conditions and renewal or reporting requirements. Prepare an action list with supporting documents and responsible persons. A general company registration or an informal authority discussion should not be treated as completing all activity-specific approvals.

Describe the proposed service, location, equipment, staff and operating entity. Compare that scope with the facility's existing permissions and the requirements of the relevant health authority. The operator should obtain advice on any additional steps before committing to an opening date; an existing facility file may not answer whether a different clinical activity is covered.

Define which records are involved, the parties' roles, continuity-of-care needs and the applicable confidentiality and retention requirements. Address access, transfer, security and outstanding operational support in the exit process. The agreement should avoid making patient-record access depend solely on settlement of a commercial dispute between the service providers.

Preserve the maintenance agreement, service logs, fault reports, notices and evidence of equipment downtime. Separate immediate patient-safety measures from the commercial dispute and involve qualified technical personnel. Counsel can assess responsibility and remedies against the contractual record, while the operational team documents decisions made to maintain safe service during the disagreement.
