These are not cases to navigate alone. Our team of experienced lawyers understands the complexity of malpractice claims, the risks involved, and the life-changing consequences for clients affected. Whether it is a medical practitioner accused of medical negligence, a lawyer facing legal malpractice, or a financial advisor responding to a breach of fiduciary duty, we bring extensive experience and knowledge to every file.

Our firm has decades of combined expertise representing professionals in malpractice cases throughout Canada. We know the litigation landscape in Alberta and across Canada, and we understand the high stakes. These matters can involve:

• Medical negligence allegations against doctors, nurses, and healthcare providers.
• Professional negligence claims against lawyers, accountants, and engineers.
• Civil action for damages suffered by patients or clients.
• Alternative dispute resolution when settlement is in the best interests of all parties.

Our lawyers do more than respond to lawsuits. We help determine risks early, assist with strategic defence planning, and protect the interests of professionals so they can continue to practise with confidence.

What Is Professional Liability and Medical Malpractice?

Professional liability arises when a person in a trusted role is accused of failing to meet the expected standard of care. Malpractice claims can take many forms:

• A patient alleging medical errors in diagnosis or treatment.
• A client suing a lawyer for professional negligence in a personal injury case.
• A business holding accountants liable for failing to detect fraud.

Medical malpractice is one of the most complex areas. Healthcare professionals, from doctors to nurses, can face lawsuits when patients believe there was a failure to obtain informed consent or when catastrophic injuries result from medical errors. The Canadian Medical Protective Association (CMPA) provides support to many medical professionals, but navigating the legal process still requires skilled malpractice lawyers who understand how to defend these claims.

Who We Represent – Professionals We Defend in Malpractice Claims

We defend professionals across a wide spectrum of regulated fields. Each case is different, each client’s life and career unique. Our role is to guide them through the legal process, help them respond effectively, and minimize the costs, risks, and damages suffered.

Legal Professionals and Legal Malpractice Cases

Allegations of legal malpractice often involve negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, or failure to protect a client’s interests. These claims can stem from missed limitation periods, errors in civil action filings, or settlements that did not serve the client’s best interests. We represent lawyers, paralegals, and boards of law firms facing these serious allegations.

Medical Malpractice Lawyer – Defending Against Medical Malpractice Claims

Medical malpractice claims can be among the most damaging. We defend healthcare professionals and healthcare providers against accusations of:

• Failing to obtain informed consent.
• Misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose.
• Surgical errors or treatment mistakes.
• Breach of professional duty leading to catastrophic injuries.

Our malpractice lawyers in Edmonton know how to challenge allegations, examine medical records, and work with experts to defend doctors, nurses, and other health care professionals.

Financial & Accounting Professionals and Fiduciary Duty Issues

Accountants, auditors, and financial advisors face unique risks. Claims of negligence or breach of fiduciary duty can arise when funds are mismanaged, endowments are mishandled, or business accounts are incorrectly prepared. Our team defends professionals in Alberta against lawsuits tied to professional malpractice in the financial sector.

Construction, Architectural & Engineering Professionals Facing Civil Action

Errors in construction, architectural planning, or engineering can result in claims involving property damage, lost income, or safety risks. We assist professionals accused of professional negligence in these fields, ensuring their side is heard in court or through settlement discussions.

Beyond medical practitioners and financial experts, many other regulated professions in Canada face the possibility of malpractice claims:

• Educators facing negligence allegations.
• Social workers dealing with accusations of failing to protect vulnerable clients.

Our lawyers bring extensive experience across this wide range of professions.
