Health law
Health law governs the relationship between patients, healthcare professionals, medical institutions and insurers. Our firm assists doctors, clinics, medico-social institutions and patients in French-speaking Switzerland in this technical field where many areas of law intersect. We act in both advisory and litigation matters, with in-depth knowledge of the issues specific to the medical sector.
FORI Avocat·e·s SA advises healthcare professionals – independent doctors, group practices, private clinics and medico-social institutions – on all matters relating to the exercise of their activity: authorisations to practise and to operate, the requirements of the Medical Professions Act (MedPA), dealings with the cantonal and federal health authorities, the legal structuring of medical practices and clinics, and relationships between doctors.
Our firm also assists doctors, patients and their relatives in disputes relating to medical care, in particular in medical liability proceedings, appeals against insurers' decisions (HIA, AIA, supplementary insurance) and steps before the authorities supervising the health professions.
Thanks to regular litigation practice and an excellent knowledge of the players in the Geneva health system, we offer pragmatic support, whether preventing a dispute through upstream advice or defending our clients' interests before the competent courts and authorities.
