Organizations & Associations
Practical and strategic advice and effective advocacy in any matter entrusted to us
At Rosen Sunshine, we provide trusted advice to organizations and associations regarding the laws that govern the environment in which they operate. Whether the organization is a small start-up, or an established leader in the healthcare space, an insurance company or an advocacy group, an association of practitioners, a business or even a government department, our dedicated and knowledgeable lawyers can help guide any organization through a broad range of internal and external matters.
From staff training and policy development, to representation before various boards, tribunals, and courts, we have the skills and experience to guide organizations through a complex legal landscape. We help organizations advocate for their members or stakeholders, respond to litigation or complaints, ensure regulatory compliance in the delivery of services, and deal with legal issues as they arise.
Organizations are now expected to process and investigate allegations of misconduct on the part of their members or staff, whether related to their personal conduct or to their conduct in connection with the organization. We can help these organizations meet their obligations to all participants in this process, ensuring respect and support for the complainant and witnesses, and fairness for the individual under investigation.
