HEALTH LAW

Overview

Due to the constantly changing nature of the healthcare industry, obtaining a comprehensive understanding of this field can be very challenging. Lavery’s healthcare lawyers assisted in developing and drafting the very first “Act respecting health services and social services” and the implementation of its regulations. For decades, we have been the preferred legal advisors to numerous institutions in the healthcare and social services network, as well as many healthcare professionals. You can have complete confidence in our extensive knowledge and expertise in the entire spectrum of the healthcare system.
