Regulatory Proceedings

The majority of working professionals in Ontario are governed by a licensing body. Michael can represent clients before any Board or Tribunal in the province of Ontario, including regulatory proceedings before licensing bodies.

It is not recommended that professionals go it alone when facing a regulatory proceeding. Outcomes before a licensing body are often based on a comprehensive knowledge of law and case law. Going it alone can result in license suspensions, revocations, and fines. Don’t risk your livelihood on a lack of representation.
