Field Law has a number of lawyers with significant experience in professional regulation. One of the most prominent members of our group is the author of two important publications: The Regulation of the Professions in Canada and A Guide to the Health Professions Act. Field Law acts for numerous regulatory colleges and organizations, providing advice on matters such as registration, continuing competence, discipline, unauthorized practice, and privacy. Our lawyers routinely appear before a variety of disciplinary bodies to prosecute allegations of unprofessional conduct. We have also appeared in all levels of Court in applications for judicial review and appeals relating to regulatory matters. Field Law acts as independent counsel to several tribunals. In addition, we have experience drafting legislation and bylaws, and in working with governments and regulatory organizations who are working toward the enactment of new legislation.

Given our focus on "preventative law", Field Law also routinely provides training for staff and members of professional regulatory organizations on matters of importance, such as How to Run an Effective Discipline Hearing and How to Prepare Reasons.

Because we understand the complexities of the regulatory environment and we do a high volume of work in the professional regulatory arena, we are able to provide advice that is timely and practical, keeping in mind the most current legal developments.
