The dedicated members of Miller Thomson’s National Health Industry Group, including the consultants of our Miltom Consulting Health Services Division, appreciate that legal advice is most effective when all aspects of an issue are considered and the context in which that issue exists is understood. For that reason, we have developed a seamless, integrated service delivery model that is unparalleled in Canada and accesses the full complement of our firm’s legal and business resources.
Members of our HIP Group have extensive expertise in all legal areas of the health sector including institutional and professional healthcare providers, life sciences, biotech and bioengineering, pharmaceutical, research organizations and the financing of the health industry. Our lawyers provide advice and opinion relevant to corporate governance and operations, including policy development, regulatory compliance, directors' and officers' duties and liabilities, physician privileges, medicine, advocacy, government relations, real estate and construction, labour relations and employment, financing, fundraising, charities and foundations, taxation, technology, intellectual property and corporate and commercial law.
Along with depth in their respective disciplines, most team members also have extensive experience working in the health industry and/or with health industry clients and have committed all or the majority of their practice to this area. Many are regarded as thought leaders in their field. Through constant communication and cooperation, regular client feedback, continuing legal education, participation in industry associations and daily interaction with health sector professionals and executives, our lawyers, consultants and staff remain at the forefront of health law in Canada.
