About

Provided by Lenczner Slaght

Lenczner Slaght has one of the leading professional liability practices in Canada, representing clients in diverse fields across a broad landscape of regulatory, civil and quasi-criminal matters.


The core of our health law practice is advocacy. We act for a range of healthcare professionals before disciplinary and regulatory tribunals and in all levels of the courts across the country. We also prosecute professional disciplinary cases for many regulatory colleges and governing bodies. In addition, we act as general counsel to several of those bodies, providing strategic advice, policy recommendations and counsel on drafting regulatory frameworks with regard to professional registration, fitness to practise, the handling of complaints and discipline.


Through our frequent role as general counsel, we have gained unique insight into the current and emerging issues facing Canada's healthcare profession. This first-hand knowledge brings unmatched relevance to our strategic perspectives and practical advice.
