Physicians are held to the highest ethical and professional standards, with their practice regularly scrutinized by regulatory bodies such as the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO). Whether you’re facing a disciplinary investigation, a complaint from a patient or colleague, or a civil lawsuit alleging negligence, Tamir Litigation Law Firm provides experienced legal defence to help physicians navigate the complexities of their practice and reputation.
Our firm is dedicated to offering strong, confidential legal support for doctors in Ontario, ensuring you can focus on what matters most — providing care to your patients.
Defending Against Disciplinary Complaints
As a physician in Ontario, you are subject to regulation by the CPSO, which investigates complaints and ensures that you meet the standards of practice. If you’ve received a notice of investigation, we can help you defend your reputation and career. Our services include:
- Defence in investigations into professional conduct, including complaints of incompetence, misconduct, or professional negligence
- Defence against Allegations of breaching patient confidentiality, improper prescribing or/ and record keeping or inappropriate behaviour and other;
- Disciplinary hearings where we represent you before the CPSO’s Complaints Committee or Discipline Committee;
- Appeals of CPSO decisions, including outcomes from disciplinary actions or suspensions at the Health Professionals Appeals Board
Defending Against Allegations of Medical Malpractice
Physicians often face lawsuits for medical malpractice, which can seriously impact both their practice and reputation. Our legal team assists doctors in defending:
- Claims of negligence, such as failure to diagnose, errors during surgery, or incorrect treatments
- Miscommunication or failure to obtain informed consent from patients
- Breaches of the standard of care or other allegations of harm caused to a patient during treatment
- Defending civil lawsuits and seeking to limit liability exposure
Licensing and Regulatory Compliance
Maintaining your medical license and staying compliant with the CPSO’s regulatory requirements is essential. Our firm helps with:
- Licensing issues for newly licensed physicians, residents, or physicians returning to practice
- Inquiries into the continuation of your medical license, particularly when facing restrictions or allegations that may affect your ability to practice
- Assistance with CPSO’s professional development or remediation programs if you’ve been placed under probation or conditions
- Navigating complex revalidation processes and dealing with inquiries related to continuing medical education (CME) or performance reviews
Your Reputation and Career Are On the Line
As a physician, your career is built on trust — trust from your patients, your peers, and the regulatory bodies overseeing your practice. If your professional conduct or medical decisions are called into question, it’s crucial to have experienced legal support.
We understand the high stakes you face, and our goal is to ensure that your medical license remains intact, your professional reputation stays secure, and your focus returns to patient care.
