Healthcare & liability
Healthcare & liability
Health law is in a constant state of flux. Any change at a political or administrative level has an immediate effect on healthcare. Patients increasingly take their case to (the disciplinary) court. The financial stakes get higher while laws and regulations become more complex. Healthcare providers, institutions and patients can easily get lost in the red tape. This is precisely where our knowledge and working methods come in useful.
Health is a broad area of law. It touches on many aspects of civil law, administrative law and criminal law. We have made a conscious choice to concentrate on the civil law interests of healthcare providers, institutions and patients.
These are the groups we represent in matters of medical liability, product liability, medical disciplinary law and disputes in partnerships and other collaborative ventures. Privacy and how to handle medical data are key subareas. We also help institutions set up operational processes.
We are passionate about bringing the medical and the legal domains together. As we represent care providers as well as patients, we understand how healthcare works, both in terms of processes and protocols and in terms of culture and relationships. And this is why we are well aware of the impact of complaints and claims. We are frequently praised for how we work – with great attention to detail yet with empathy for the parties involved.
Recently, we have:
- successfully represented care providers in proceedings before the Central Disciplinary Committee for the Healthcare Sector;
- won a partnership dispute on behalf of a care provider with the Arbitration Tribunal for the Healthcare Sector;
- drawn up a step-by-step plan for an employer for providing medical data by surviving dependents of employees with an occupational disease;
- advised a life insurer about how to handle medical data;
- advised on the unlawful actions of the supervisory board of a care healthcare institution;
