SGM has a strong practice in professional regulation and professional liability.

Our lawyers have experience defending professionals, prosecuting on behalf of regulatory bodies, and providing independent advice to regulatory authorities and tribunals. For that reason, we have a unique insight into all aspects of professional regulation. We understand the complexities of dealing with multiple proceedings before professional bodies, and the civil or criminal courts.

SGM has depth and expertise with a variety of professionals and regulatory bodies, including physicians, dentists, accountants, psychologists, chiropractors, lawyers, directors and officers of corporations, engineers, financial advisors, media, real estate agents and other professionals.

Professionals who are accused of professional misconduct, a breach of professional standards, negligence, or criminal conduct require a swift and effective resolution of any and all allegations. As professionals ourselves, we appreciate that your integrity, reputation and livelihood depends on it.

Regulatory bodies require experienced and diligent representation which protects the public interest, and maintains statutory duties. SGM’s lawyers understand these demands, and have the skills and experience to prosecute effectively.

We are lean and efficient. We recognize that while a negotiated solution is preferable in some cases, aggressive litigation is sometimes necessary.
