Our Areas of Practice

We mainly defend physicians sued in civil liability. Through their extensive experience in the field, our lawyers have developed an in-depth knowledge of many scientific issues, of the judicious use of experts and of all the legal strategies for professional liability cases.

This field of practice has allowed us to develop a solid reputation as litigators in the legal community and a vast experience before the courts (Superior Court, Court of Appeal, Court of Québec).

When a professional corporation communicates with one of its members concerning an investigation, that person’s professional practice may be in jeopardy. Professionals faced with such a situation naturally feel great anxiety and seek answers to their many questions as well as dependable support.

Thanks to its solid experience in disciplinary law, combined with a thorough knowledge of the professional corporations, our firm stands out as a reference in any investigative process by a professional corporation. We have extensive experience in early intervention in the process initiated by the corporation and know how to act tactfully and firmly. Appeal procedures before the Professions Tribunal or judicial review proceedings before the Superior Court are also part of our services.

We advise and represent professionals in the following contexts, amongst other:

• professional inspection
• syndic’s investigation
• disciplinary complaint
• motion for re-entry on the roll

We represent or advise several traditional media, producers and publishers. We offer services in all aspects of media law, from prepublication advice to defending defamation proceedings, including challenging publication bans and protecting journalistic sources. We can advise our clients on compliance with journalistic standards of practice, particularly with regard to fact-checking. Our lawyers are members of the Canadian Media Lawyers Association.
