Medico-Legal Hub is dedicated to supporting medical practitioners by offering a wide range of services. From compliance and contract drafting to complex litigation and assistance with medical aid section 59, we provide comprehensive solutions for individuals and practices. Our team consists of advocates, attorneys, medico-legal experts, financial service providers, and investigators.

We prioritise personalized attention and understand that each client has unique needs. By working closely with our clients, we develop tailored preventative measures and legal strategies. Recognizing the challenges faced by medical professionals in today’s litigious environment, we have designed a specialized product and assembled a team of highly skilled experts.

Our goal is to protect our clients’ rights and reputations. We offer support in patient and practice management, as well as during legal proceedings. Our services include compliance assistance for regulations such as FICA, POPIA, PIAI (S51 manuals), and HPCSA Ethical rules and Code of conduct. Additionally, we provide guidance in medical law, business law, criminal and civil litigation, practice management, financial services, and forensic investigations.

Navigating healthcare regulations and labour relations can be overwhelming, which is why our experienced team helps medical practitioners adhere to legal and ethical requirements. Our litigation preparation and support program ensures that correspondence between malpractice insurers, attorneys, medico-legal experts, and patients is handled in the best interest of our clients.

We stay up to date with changes in healthcare law and relevant legislation, allowing our clients to focus on delivering quality healthcare. By understanding the unique circumstances of each medical practitioner, we tailor our services to their specific needs. Our aim is to build strong relationships and work collaboratively for the best possible outcomes.

At Medico-Legal Hub, we believe in letting you focus on healthcare while we take care of the legal aspects. As a valued client, you may also be eligible for a discounted rate through your Medical Liability Insurer. Contact us for more information.
