How we help regulated professionals

Your licence is your livelihood.
Protect it accordingly.

Regulated professionals — engineers, nurses, dentists, paramedics, chiropractors, and others — work under a layer of accountability most employees never face. When a complaint is filed against you, or a conduct proceeding is opened, you are facing a process that can affect your ability to practise.

Your regulator’s duty is to the public. Ours is to you.

GoodWin's team includes lawyers who have worked inside BC's professional regulators — as investigators and as in-house counsel. We know how these bodies think, how decisions get made, and where a case can be turned, because we have been on the other side of it.

That experience is yours now.

We've seen this process from the other side of the table.

A professional conduct matter is too serious to face alone. What is at stake is your job, your reputation, and your ability to keep doing the work you have built a career around. You want counsel who works in licensing and professional conduct, and who has been through this process before.

Licensing is part of this work too. If you have run into a problem with an application for registration or a licence, we can help with that.

Every notice of complaint or proceedings from your college — even one that seems minor — requires a response. Ignoring it, or answering without guidance, is often what turns a manageable situation into a serious one.

We take it seriously from the first notice: we respond, we push back where there are grounds to push back, and we stay with it through to resolution. No lawyer can promise an outcome, and we do not. What we do is fight for the best one available to you — and where harm cannot be avoided, we work to limit it.
