She works with clients towards practical solutions to their legal issues and assists them in navigating Canada’s complex health regulatory framework in a way that will best achieve their aims.

It also includes opinion and litigation experience for a large national firm.

She has specialized expertise in health law and has advised, published and spoken on a wide range of issues including health system governance, health care delivery, regulation of health professionals, medical malpractice, public health, mental health, pandemics, assisted death, end-of-life decision-making, handling of health information, health ethics, injury control, patient charters, apology laws, regulation of health products, consent and capacity, substitute decision-making, nosocomial infection, patient and staff abuse, patient safety, medical staff appointments and privileges, and disclosure of adverse events.

She has taught extensively in both law and health professional faculties, and given over 445 invited lectures, most recently on Regulating in a Post-Pandemic World.  She is an author of more than 70 publications (including book chapters, peer-reviewed articles, and commissioned papers and reports).
