We can assist whether it be negotiation, mediation or litigation in the courts.

Professional Discipline
Licensed professionals do business under the watchful eye of their regulatory bodies. Whether you are a realtor, an accountant, an insurance agent, a mortgage broker, or lawyer, you may be investigated and subject to disciplinary hearings by your regulatory body.
Often your mandatory corporation will conflict with your right to silence which you have guaranteed under the criminal law. We can help you navigate these issues. We can assist you with representation in regulatory hearings, preparation for mandatory interviews and assist in preparing written submissions on your behalf.
If you are under investigation by your regulatory body, speak to us before attending any interviews.
