Medical law and professional liability

Medical law brings together liability, regulation and the rights of the patient. A single incident can produce a civil claim, a disciplinary complaint to the licensing board, an administrative question for the facility and, occasionally, a criminal case.

Our work includes

• Medical malpractice claims, for patients and for practitioners and facilities
• Informed consent, medical records and the patient's right of access
• Medical confidentiality, and its limits
• Disciplinary proceedings before the professional licensing boards
• Licensing and regulation of clinics, laboratories and pharmacies
• Employment and contractual arrangements for medical staff
• Professional liability coverage and disputes with insurers
• Handling of health data under Law No. 2024/017, which treats it as sensitive data
