We are experienced in providing integrated legal services for growing businesses in western Canada to manage risk, facilitate growth, and resolve disputes.

We can support:

• drafting and reviewing contracts to protect your interests;

• driving successful negotiations;

• safeguarding your intellectual property rights;

• guiding you through employment matters with practical and strategic advice;

• representing your business in administrative or court proceedings; and

• managing disputes with service providers, contractors, insurers, or other third parties.

Let us act as your trusted legal partner, providing the support you need without the commitment of a full-time in-house counsel.

With over 13 years of experience in the health sector, we have seen it all. We are passionate about building a better tomorrow by advancing healthcare delivery. From small projects with a single physician to large-scale collaborations impacting millions, we provide trusted counsel. Reach out to discuss how we can support your initiatives. Examples of our work include:

• taking leadership roles on large scale initiatives;

• acting as counsel for parties on commercial law matters;

• facilitating licensing applications with a professional regulator for the delivery of health services; and

• supporting societies in the health sector with their ongoing legal needs.

We advise on the following areas:

Compliance, Governance, and Risk Management: Helping organizations manage obligations and decision-making for sensitive data, IP, and other information through policy drafting, strategy development, agreements (e.g., user service terms, licenses), and audits or privacy impact assessments.

Information Sharing: Assisting with rights and obligations related to accessing or sharing information, including drafting agreements like NDAs, information-sharing, or data-sharing contracts.

Complaints, Inquiries, and Reviews: Handling matters with regulatory bodies overseeing information collection, use, and disclosure.

Breach Counsel: Supporting incident responses across Western Canada, including cyber-attacks and record loss or theft.

Our experience is focused on supporting healthcare professionals to navigate rules, laws and conflict within their private practice, including:

• advertising and communication of services provided;

• supporting responses or appeals related to inquiries or disciplinary proceedings from the Colleges, academic institutions, or other regulatory bodies related to care or services provided;

• licensing matters; and

• advising on compliance with the College’s bylaws, policies and related regulatory obligations, such as those under Canada’s Food and Drug Act.

We have experience advising physicians, dentists, naturopaths, nurses, registered massage therapists, and health professional trainees in a range of matters.

Whether you are starting a claim, or have been served with a claim or have an issue with your insurer or a business partner, we can help you navigate the legal system.

Our ability to resolve disputes early and without going to court if this is our client’s interest is a strength of ours. However, when resolving the dispute outside of court is not possible, we are prepared to effectively represent you in court.

Our experience in this area includes:

• preparing demand letters;

• litigation coaching;

• advocating in settlement meetings or mediations;

• commencing or defending civil claims in the BC Provincial and BC Supreme courts; and

• representing clients in court during a hearing or a trial and other regulatory hearings.

We represent individuals in non-automotive personal injury matters, including trip-and-falls, slip-and-falls, dog attacks, food poisoning, defective products, unsafe premises, and other injuries caused by negligence in commercial or residential settings.

Our approach emphasizes thorough investigation, strategic negotiation, and effective advocacy to ensure that your rights are protected and your needs are prioritized. With extensive experience in navigating claims involving homeowner’s and commercial insurance policies, we are dedicated to securing the compensation you deserve.

If you have been injured due to someone else’s negligence and are unsure of your next steps, we are here to help.
