Our lawyers are knowledgeable about mental health and consent and capacity law, and can assist with capacity assessments, powers of attorney, and guardianship issues. We advise our clients regarding government submissions and reports, OHIP and billing matters, contracts, policies, forms, and workplace issues. We also represent mental health care providers before regulators, boards and tribunals, and courts in a range of matters. We offer consultations on challenging issues, such as assessing capacity to consent to treatment when a client has a cognitive impairment or mental disorder, how custody and access orders and disputes impact consent and disclosure of records, the rights of children and their parents/caregivers in various circumstances, and management of privacy considerations. We also advise providers on funding issues and on dealing with parties to litigation and their representatives.
