We have extensive experience advising and representing professionals (and their companies/partnerships) as they navigate civil and regulatory proceedings. We have prosecuted and defended various professionals, including lawyers, engineers, accountants, architects, real estate agents, and health care providers governed by the Regulated Health Professions Act.
