Professional Misconduct or Regulatory Violations
The lawyers of Cohen, Sabsay LLP provide comprehensive legal services to clients facing professional licensing issues. These cases may involve criminal defence, civil lawsuits, and administrative and regulatory law, including the need for representation before a professional licensing and disciplinary tribunal or board.
For example, if you own a liquor store, the police may ticket you for an alleged violation of the fire code or the Liquor License Act. The officer would report the violation to the Alcohol and Gaming Commission, which may decide to take action against your license. Their decision could result in the revocation of your liquor license. Our law firm can represent you in all aspects of the case, defending you against any potential criminal charges and representing your interests in disciplinary actions of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission.
Ontario Professional Negligence Lawyers
We represent immigration consultants, doctors, lawyers, nurses, dentists, psychologists, stockbrokers, teachers and other licensed professionals who have been accused of professional misconduct of some sort. In some cases, these allegations have led, or may lead to, a criminal charge.
Whether or not a criminal offence is involved, allegations of professional misconduct may lead to a hearing before the professional licensing board that is responsible for regulatory proceedings. The board's decision could result in monetary penalties or the suspension or revocation of a professional license. We have a record of success in stopping disciplinary proceedings against our clients.
A civil lawsuit may be filed seeking financial compensation for damages caused by a licensed professional, based on allegations of professional misconduct, license violations or other violations of professional responsibility. We defend the interests of our clients in these claims.
