A single complaint can put everything you’ve worked for at risk, i.e., your teaching certificate, your job, and your reputation. If you’re facing an investigation or hearing by the Ontario College of Teachers (OCT), you need more than support, you need strong, strategic legal defence.
At Tamir Litigation, we stand up for educators across Ontario. Whether you’re a classroom teacher, specialist, or school leader, we know how to navigate the OCT’s regulatory system and how to protect your name, your career, and your future.
Facing an OCT Complaint? Don’t Do It Alone
The moment the OCT contacts you, the stakes are high. Even unproven allegations of misconduct, boundary violations, or incompetence can lead to:
- Public discipline hearings
- Suspension or revocation of your teaching certificate
- Employment consequences
- Long-lasting damage to your professional reputation
We guide you through every step, from responding to complaints, handling investigations, to representing you at disciplinary and fitness-to-practise hearings. We fight to keep you in the classroom and protect what you’ve built.
What We Defend Teachers Against:
- Alleged inappropriate communication with students or parents
- Allegations of unprofessional conduct inside or outside the classroom
- Complaints related to classroom management, boundaries, or judgment
- School board investigations running parallel to OCT matters
- Discipline or fitness-to-practise proceedings that threaten your certification
We understand the unique environment teachers work in, especially in today’s climate of heightened scrutiny and shifting standards. We build defence strategies that are practical, persuasive, and tailored to the profession
