Practice Areas
Malpractice and healthcare litigation are complex areas of the law that can have devastating professional and financial impacts on doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals if not handled properly. Such litigation can also adversely affect hospitals, clinics, and the manufacturers of healthcare products and pharmaceuticals. Even before legal proceedings are initiated, a publicly voiced complaint can endanger the reputation of the individual or institution. Our objective is to protect our clients' professional reputations and financial stability while respecting their goal to provide excellent care to their patients.
The Malpractice and Health Care Litigation Group is comprised of experienced lawyers who provide advice and representation on a broad variety of legal matters, including the defence of:
- personal injury and malpractice claims related to treatment;
- product liability claims against drug companies and healthcare product manufacturers;
- institutional sexual assault and abuse actions; and
- professional discipline investigations.
Our group represents professionals across various disciplines, and offers a client-centred approach, entailing discreet/confidential counsel and effective advocacy before administrative tribunals and all levels of court. The lawyers in the Malpractice and Healthcare Litigation Group have a strong background in personal injury and products liability claims, and a thorough understanding of the fiduciary responsibilities and privacy issues facing health care providers and their insurers.
