Chand & Co. provides focused regulatory and litigation legal services for lawyers and other licensed professionals facing serious legal issues. Our firm understands the pressures that arise when members of the profession become the subject of scrutiny by the law society or other regulatory bodies.

Our role is to protect your practice, your standing in the profession, and your long-term career. We regulatory represent lawyers, paralegals, and other regulated professionals across Canada, drawing on deep knowledge of law, regulatory frameworks, and contested litigation matters.

Legal Defence for Lawyers Facing Law Society Complaints

A law society investigation can be disruptive and overwhelming. Complaints may come from clients, colleagues, opposing counsel, or regulators, and often raise allegations of professional misconduct, breach of rules, or failure to meet statutory obligations under the applicable Act.

Our regulatory defence lawyers provide strategic legal services at every stage of the process, including:

Responding to notice of complaints.
Managing document production and documents review.
Preparing written submissions and evidence.
Advising on regulatory compliance and remediation.

We regulatory assist lawyers dealing with parallel exposure in civil litigation, criminal law, or administrative regulatory proceedings, including matters that may later proceed to court or the Ontario Court.

Legal Defence for Lawyers Facing Law Society Complaints

Common Allegations Against Lawyers

We routinely defend lawyers and professionals facing complaints involving:

Alleged professional misconduct or improper conduct.
Trust accounting and financial statements.
Failure to comply with law society rules.
Conflicts of interest affecting clients.
Harassment or human rights allegations.
Negligence claims linked to civil litigation.
Allegations connected to criminal activity or a criminal offence.

Many matters begin with an investigation that expands over time. Our regulatory defence lawyers proactively investigate the circumstances, assess risk, and develop strategies to protect both the person and the practice.

Guidance and Representation at Every Stage of the Process

Regulatory matters follow defined procedures, but each law society file is unique. We represent lawyers, in house counsel, and paralegals through every process, including:

Initial investigation and fact-gathering.
Requests for documents and witness interviews.
Interim review and compliance steps.
Formal hearing preparation.

Our team works closely with clients to assist with strategic decisions, ensure access to timely advice, and address overlapping legal issues in criminal law, health law, or civil litigation.

Advocacy in Discipline Hearings, Tribunals, and Appeals

When matters escalate, strong advocacy is essential. We regulatory appear before discipline panels, administrative tribunals proceedings, and appellate bodies. Our advocacy includes:

Full hearing representation.
Cross-examination of witnesses.
Submissions on law, justice, and proportionality.
Managing appeal rights following adverse decisions.

Where appropriate, we also represent professionals in related proceedings before court, including the Ontario Court, ensuring continuity across regulatory and judicial forums.

Protecting Your Practice and Reputation

A regulatory dispute affects more than a single file as it can impact clients, referral relationships, and future ability to practice law. Our mandate is to protect your reputation, your practice, and your standing with the profession.

We advise on:

Ongoing regulatory compliance.
Risk mitigation and internal controls.
Communications with regulators and regulatory bodies.
Proactive steps to protect professional standing.

Our experience extends beyond law society matters to licensing disputes involving liquor licensing, hospital privileges, and other health law related approvals.

In early 2009, we needed a great litigation lawyer for a particularly difficult regulatory matter. Pradeep Chand meet with us only two days after our initial phone call. He took time to understand our situation and to explain his approach to litigation. Pradeep's guidance, counsel and style yielded the desired results. Pradeep has represented us on subsequent litigation matters, all with successful results for our establishment.

Pradeep has earned our complete confidence. We now rely on his guidance and direction on all liquor license and litigation matters. We look forward to working with him for many years to come.
