Health Professional Regulation Lawyers

McIntyre Szabo PC routinely defends all types of regulated health professionals on matters before their regulatory health Colleges, in civil malpractice suits and in human rights complaints. This includes patient complaints, College investigations, fitness to practice issues and regulatory discipline matters. We are also Health Professions Appeal and Review Board lawyers, acting for regulated health providers on appeals at the tribunal and then judicial reviews to the Divisional Court. It is important to get legal advice early to help evaluate your risk and manage your response, as these legal matters can have long lasting impacts.

We routinely work with regulated health professionals covered by insurance companies or professional associations, but also assist those who do not have coverage and are hiring a professional regulation lawyer privately. We can typically offer clients the choice of an hourly rate or a flat fee on regulatory matters. We routinely speak and write on regulatory health issues, including John McIntyre speaking at the CNAR regulatory conference about freedom of expression for regulated health providers in Vancouver in October 2023. John McIntyre was also lead counsel for two LGBTQ+ advocacy organizations in the recent Jordan Peterson regulatory matter before the Divisional Court.
