Health Law
We address the activities of healthcare institutions and professionals, and the rights of patients arising from healthcare services, by assessing the medical, administrative and contractual dimensions of the service together. Advisory work in this field examines the relationship between professional duties and patient rights, and the sensitivity of patient privacy and health data is observed at every stage.
In work on operating permits, service contracts and information documents we give weight both to the applicable rules and to how the service is actually delivered. In files arising from alleged medical malpractice and professional liability we examine medical records, the course of events and expert assessments in detail, and we conduct applications, defence and litigation with the parties’ legal positions and the facts of the case kept in view together.
