Most professionals and tradespeople are also very conscientious of the impact of their work on clients, stakeholders, and the general public. For these reasons, allegations of incompetence, misconduct, unprofessionalism, or unethical behaviour can be devastating to their reputation, self-worth, and financial security.

There are over 100 professionals and trades categories in Ontario, including lawyers, immigration consultants, accountants, engineers, architects, health professionals, financial services advisors, and real estate agents. Each profession and trade is distinct in its required education and qualifications. Despite these differences, we apply the same overarching principles of defense to every case: understanding the impugned allegations or issues within the context of the profession/trade, collaborating with the professional/tradesperson to ensure that they have control over the future of their career, and minimizing the impact of the dispute on their finances.
