Medical lawyer. Specializes in protecting the rights of doctors and patients, handling medical malpractice and liability cases, supporting disability determination and appeals procedures, and providing legal analysis of medical documentation.
Legal protection of a dentist
Dentistry is one of the most conflict-prone medical specialties. Implantation, prosthetics, post-treatment complications, and subjective evaluation of results — any procedure may end in a claim, complaint, or even the initiation of criminal proceedings.
Today, the professional activity of a dentist is associated not only with medical aspects but also with legal risks.

When Does a Dentist Need a Lawyer?
- A patient demands compensation
- A claim or lawsuit has been filed
- Criminal proceedings have been initiated under Article 140 of the Criminal Code
- An inspection by the Ministry of Health or another regulatory authority
- A dispute regarding informed consent
- A threat of license revocation
The earlier a lawyer becomes involved, the greater the chances of resolving the matter without court proceedings or without a conviction.
Civil Claims and Compensation
The most common scenario is a claim for damages. A patient may allege:
- poor-quality treatment
- loss of a tooth
- the need for a repeat procedure
- moral (non-pecuniary) damages
In such cases, the key objective is to prove:
- compliance with clinical protocols
- properly executed informed consent
- absence of a causal link
We build a defense strategy together with medical experts and support the process through to resolution.
Criminal Liability of a Dentist
Article 140 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine is one of the most significant risks. Even without a conviction, the mere initiation of criminal proceedings may seriously damage a doctor’s reputation.
We provide:
- legal support at the stage of initial complaints and inspections
- representation during interrogations and other investigative actions
- legal analysis and supervision of expert examinations
- protection against unfounded criminal qualification
- work aimed at terminating proceedings at the pre-trial stage
In criminal proceedings, it is crucial to form the correct legal position from the very first procedural actions.
