Civil liability and medical law
Guillaume Etier, Barnabas Denes, Joyce Thomson, Marion Droz
Our firm specialises in medical law and civil liability.
We provide personalised assistance to our clients throughout the litigation process, from the time of the accident until the case is fully resolved with the responsible parties and insurers. We take all necessary steps to obtain compensation for losses suffered as a result of injury, death, medical treatment, occupational or domestic disability, or moral damage.
We also represent those responsible, as well as insurance companies, in disputes relating to accidents involving roads, construction sites, railways or air.
Finally, we represent doctors, group practices, laboratories, and private clinics. We assist them with their legal relations with patients, medical and regulatory authorities, and insurance companies. We also support doctors in proceedings brought by the Health Professions Supervisory Commission.
