Professional Licensing Defense
For licensed professionals, the standards and the stakes are high. MBK attorneys work to protect you, your reputation, and your livelihood.
When a professional faces licensing or disciplinary action, their reputation and livelihood are at risk. The consequences for their career, finances, and family can be devastating. At MBK, we offer advice and representation to Pennsylvania professionals and their employers in licensing and disciplinary matters before state, federal, and professional bodies. We help clients navigate the complex regulations of their profession, and advocate for them in suspension, revocation, investigative, reciprocity, and disciplinary proceedings. Our attorneys are sensitive to the practical and legal implications of professional licensing issues for our clients, and passionate about providing them with a rigorous defense.
In professional disciplinary proceedings, it is crucial to understand not only the specific regulatory requirements of a profession but also the relevant laws, ethical obligations, and accepted practices in that industry. Some licensing or disciplinary matters can also involve civil actions, or even criminal charges. The MBK Professional Licensing Defense Group has extensive experience advising on all professions regulated by the Pennsylvania Bureau of Professional and Occupational Affairs and other licensing bodies, including:
- Physicians
- Dentists
- Nurses
- Nurse Practitioners
- Chiropractors
- Pharmacists
- Veterinarians
- Architects
- Lawyers
- Certified Public Accountants
- Tax Preparers
- Real Estate Agents
- Engineers
- Funeral directors
Our team includes seasoned civil litigators, white collar criminal defense attorneys, and attorneys with decades of experience in state government, healthcare, and other private industries. Together, they apply their skills and experience to diligently investigate the relevant issues, retain reliable expert witnesses, and provide a thorough defense for Pennsylvania licensed professionals.
The MBK Professional Licensing Defense team is here for our clients from the earliest stages of a licensing or disciplinary investigation. We work proactively to minimize a client’s risk and protect their reputation. When a matter does lead to an administrative or disciplinary hearing, or legal proceedings, our attorneys prepare diligently and advocate aggressively to achieve an optimal outcome for our client.
