Professional Liability

Clients facing professional scrutiny either through complaints, investigations or disciplinary proceedings experience profound threats to their professional reputations, their ability to carry on their practices, and earn their livelihood. Torkin Manes has significant experience in the defence of health professionals, stockbrokers, lawyers, accountants, architects, engineers, financial advisers, and insurance brokers.

We have developed strong professional relationships with the various regulatory bodies, who know that we have a solid understanding of our clients’ professional practices and obligations. Whether it’s a simple written response to a complaint, the tactical use of an alternative dispute resolution mechanism, or an aggressive defence to disciplinary charges at a hearing or on appeal, our goal is always to ensure that risks are understood and minimized and chances for success are maximized.

We work closely with our Health Law Group, which provides a complete range of legal services to health care professionals and institutions.

As highly respected as leaders in their practice areas, our lawyers are often invited to participate in government task forces and other initiatives where their experience is relied upon to advance the law.
