Health and Privacy Law Services

Strategic Advice. Strong Advocacy. Trusted Counsel.

Healthcare operates in one of the most highly regulated and rapidly evolving legal environments. Whether navigating a regulatory proceeding, responding to a privacy breach, responding to an insurance delisting, or managing complex health information obligations, organizations and professionals need clear, practical advice grounded in experience.

At Embury & West LLP, we provide focused, strategic counsel across the full spectrum of health law, spanning professional regulatory defence, delisting appeals, privacy and data governance, breach response and dispute resolution. We act in high-stakes, high-sensitivity matters where legal, professional, and reputational risks intersect.

Health Professional Regulatory Defence

Your professional reputation and licence are fundamental to your livelihood. Regulatory proceedings are complex, time-sensitive, and often deeply personal.

We represent health professionals before their college or professional association at every stage of the regulatory process, including:

Complaints and investigations
Discipline hearings and tribunal matters
Appeals and judicial review

Our approach is strategic and proactive. We assess risk early, develop a clear path forward, and guide clients through each stage toward resolution with confidence and discretion.

Health Information Privacy & Data Governance

Health information is among the most sensitive forms of personal data, and the legal frameworks governing its use are evolving rapidly.

We advise healthcare providers, private and public sector health organizations, and health-sector businesses on:

Compliance with health information laws
Privacy program design
Privacy impact assessments
Information Manager Agreements
Staff training and operational implementation
Breach response, risk assessments and reporting obligations

We focus on practical, workable solutions, helping clients meet legal obligations while maintaining effective and efficient operations.

Access to Information & Disclosure

Healthcare organizations regularly face complex access and disclosure obligations.

We assist with:

Responding to access requests and production obligations
Requests for corrections or amendments to health information
Interpreting disclosure requirements and exemptions
Representation before the privacy commissioner

Our advice balances transparency, legal compliance, and risk management in sensitive environments.

Breach Response & Incident Management

Privacy and security breaches require immediate, coordinated, and legally sound action.

We support clients across the full lifecycle of a breach incident, including:

Immediate response and containment strategy
Internal investigations and coordination with technical experts
Regulatory notification and reporting obligations
Communications with affected individuals and stakeholders
Representation in regulatory investigations and related proceedings
Advising on mitigating measures to prevent future breaches

We act as trusted advisors in moments where clarity, speed, and judgment matter most.
