What is professional misconduct?

Professional misconduct occurs when a person violates the ethical or professional standards of their profession.

The most common forms of professional misconduct include:

  • Engaging in fraudulent or deceptive practices
  • Failing to provide adequate care or services to clients or patients
  • Breaching client confidentiality or privacy
  • Behaving in a sexually inappropriate or harassing manner
  • Misrepresenting qualifications or experience
  • Failing to disclose conflicts of interest
  • Engaging in discriminatory practices or behaviours
  • Substantial or consistent failure to comply with regulations or standards governing the profession

If a person has been performing unsatisfactory professional conduct, they can be met with serious consequences, including disciplinary action, loss of licensure or certification, and legal liability. The specific consequences will depend on the nature and severity of the misconduct, as well as the regulations and laws governing the profession.

If you are facing professional misconduct charges, it’s important to have a workplace misconduct lawyer by your side as soon as possible. Our legal practitioners at Fisher Dore are here to ensure you are treated fairly and that you are respected throughout the entire legal process.

Though they are related concepts, professional negligence and professional misconduct are not the same. 

Neither professional misconduct or professional negligence are considered a serious criminal offence — although they can result in civil liability.

While professional misconduct refers to a violation of a profession’s ethical or professional standards, professional negligence means a professional has failed to meet their profession’s standard of care expectations.

Dont take our word for it, here’s what our clients have had to say...

From the outset Nick was wonderful in assisting my son – empathetic, positive, pragmatic and knowledgeable. He demonstrated considerable expertise in handling the matter – knowing what approach to take, and tone to adopt, with the authorities. We were delighted with the eventual outcome and couldn’t recommend Nick highly enough.

Adam steered us through the worst period of our lives, with amazing patience and understand. We where not the easiest clients in the world but he was always there for us. He was some how able to achieve a resolution that I am still shocked at. Adam and the team he assembled saved our family, we can never thank him enough.

Michael was very professional, reassuring and under my instruction, put my best interests first. I couldn’t be happier with the results and if for any reason my friends or family needed a lawyer, I would definitely recommend Michael.

Sean went over and beyond to research up to date information and resources in order to successfully represent me in court. Thank you, Sean.

I recently had Adam represent me for a matter, and from the very first conversation he was so reassuring and compassionate!! I couldn’t be happier with the outcome, I recommend him to everyone who is in need of representation. A solid 10/10 from Me. A really good man!

I would like to express my sincere thanks for the most professional representation, your expertise and clear guidance were invaluable during this challenging time. You have a special place in my heart forever. The work you did for me shows you really care and that the defense team has a heart and this is not just a job.
