PROFESSIONAL REGULATION LAW

Franklin Law is well positioned to provide you with insightful advice, exceptional support and, if need be, effective representation in pursuing redress for all kinds of matters related to professional regulation including but not limited to:

  • Complaints
  • Disciplinary proceedings
  • Capacity proceedings

There are over thirty bodies in Ontario with responsibility for regulating the activities of professionals including but not limited to doctors, nurses, veterinarians, engineers, dentists, teachers, architects, accountants, pharmacists, optometrists, chiropractors, dieticians and lawyers.

A key part of every regulatory body’s mandate is to protect the public. Accordingly, each regulatory body has mechanisms to receive complaints from the public, discipline professionals, restrict their practice where they pose a risk to the public, and suspend or remove their ability to practice in exceptional circumstances.

Franklin Law understands the tremendous impact that regulatory bodies can have on a professionals’ livelihood, and is ready any able to advise you and, if necessary, represent you in responding to complaints or in any disciplinary or incapacity proceedings you may be involved in.
