Lawyers for Homeopaths

As trusted homeopath lawyers, we represent homeopaths in Ontario in regulatory, litigation, clinical and risk issues, including those with the College of Homeopaths of Ontario (the “CHO”), the Human Rights Tribunal and the Information and Privacy Commissioner. We help homeopaths navigate the legal landscape governing the practice of homeopathy in Ontario, including under the Homeopathy Act, 2007.

If you have a complaint, investigation or disciplinary matter before the CHO, it is important to get legal advice from a homeopath complaint lawyer or homeopath discipline lawyer to evaluate your risk and help you manage your response. This is especially important because many forms of remediation ordered by the CHO remain on a homeopath’s public register indefinitely. We are homeopath defence lawyers who assist on all types of CHO matters, including clinical issues, billing issues, communication issues, recordkeeping issues and boundary violations/sexual assault allegations.

We work with insurance companies covering Ontario homeopaths and also represent homeopaths directly who do not have coverage for regulatory matters. We typically offer our clients the choice of an hourly rate or flat fee for these regulatory matters, especially for homeopath complaints. We represent homeopaths across the province of Ontario, including in Toronto and the GTA, Ottawa, Hamilton, Kitchener, London, Brampton, Barrie, Kingston and Thunder Bay.
