As a veterinarian in Ontario, your license, professional standing, and livelihood depend on maintaining the trust of clients, the welfare of animals under your care, and compliance with the standards set by the College of Veterinarians of Ontario (CVO). A single complaint, investigation, or disciplinary proceeding can put your reputation and career at serious risk.
We provide experienced, focused legal defence to veterinarians across Ontario facing professional discipline, regulatory issues, or investigations by the CVO. We understand the complexities of veterinary practice and the pressures that come with managing patient care, client expectations, and practice operations.
Regulatory Defence for Veterinarians Across Ontario
Veterinarians are held to high standards of ethics, record-keeping, and clinical practice. We defend clients in matters involving:
- Complaints filed with the College of Veterinarians of Ontario (CVO)
- Investigations and Inquiries Committee proceedings
- Allegations of professional misconduct, incompetence, or incapacity
- Discipline hearings and appeals
- Licensing, registration, and renewal disputes
Understanding the Veterinary Regulatory Framework
Veterinary regulation in Ontario is unique in that it concerns both human clients and animal patients. Veterinarians Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. V.3 , enforced by the CVO, gives the College wide authority to investigate complaints and discipline members. Without strong legal representation, you risk penalties including license suspension, fines, or practice restrictions.
Our firm provides proactive, tailored support to help resolve regulatory matters efficiently—often before they escalate to formal hearings.
