Toronto Professional Liability Lawyers

Being the subject of a client complaint to a regulatory body and a subsequent investigation and hearing is undoubtedly one of the most stressful situations a professional can face. A discipline hearing at a regulatory board or tribunal is serious. It can be as lengthy and complex as a court trial, can have serious consequences, and can permanently affect both your livelihood and reputation.

If you are a professional and a client has filed a complaint against you, or if you are facing an investigation or disciplinary tribunal proceeding stemming from a complaint, it is imperative to consult with a lawyer who has a deep and thorough understanding of professional liability and discipline and who has significant litigation and trial experience. Professional discipline processes come with their own sets of rules and procedures that require a unique understanding and focused skill set to navigate. At Milosevic & Associates, our Toronto professional misconduct lawyers are intimately familiar with discipline across a number of professions and have successfully represented many professionals, including other lawyers, investment advisors, as well as directors and officers in such circumstances.

The Potential Consequences of Professional Discipline 

The potential consequences of a finding of negligence, professional misconduct, or other wrongs can be significant, including fines, limitations on what a professional can do in their practice, a suspension or revocation of a professional’s license to practice, or even criminal charges.

Negative findings about a professional can also negatively affect their reputation, their ability to continue working in their field, and their ability to find work outside of their field.

None of these potential outcomes should be taken lightly.
