About

Provided by Fasken

Navigating Canada's health care system can be a challenge for those who provide, fund and regulate health care. Across the sector, we help our clients identify, understand and progress along the right pathways to meet their objectives.

More options, shorter wait times and lower costs are all important to patients. At the same time, healthcare providers strive to play a bigger role by bridging gaps in the system and innovating.

Healthcare is a profession. It is also a business. The Fasken team understands the unique context of our clients, who need to meet patient expectations and ever expanding regulatory requirements under a constrained funding system.

What distinguishes Fasken is our large, cross-Canada team. Our lawyers have deep experience and trusted relationships with a wide range of health sector clients in each of our regional markets, as well as national-level expertise. We share ideas and collaborate with clients wherever and whenever we can.

We help with governance, outsourcing, structuring, privacy, employment, and technology matters. If disputes arise, we’ll represent your organization before tribunals or in court.

Our clients include private and public health sector organizations as well as non-profits.
