Should sexual "quid pro quo" be legal, as long as it's spelled out up front in a contract and not sprung on an employee after employment?

This is correct. I work for a physician, who is an "M.D., P.A.". It just means you can only sue the business, you would not be able to take the doctor or lawyers personal assets as part of a malpractice suit.

Actually, you are only partially correct. You can always sue a lawyer personally. Being part of a professional corporation only protects other attorneys from being sued for your attorneys acts.
