I am a health lawyer and the principal lawyer of Lisa Feldstein Law Office Professional Corporation. I help clients create and protect their families. I provide health law advocacy and advice to help you resolve what I know is a stressful, challenging and often scary situation.
When I am not busy lawyering, I am teaching health law as an Adjunct Professor at York University, mentoring law students and raising two young kids (alongside my paramedic husband). For more about my credentials, please see My Biography below.
I'm Lisa Feldstein, a health and fertility lawyer based in Ontario, Canada. My passion lies at the intersection of law and bioethics, guiding clients through some of life's most personal and complex legal matters.
I studied psychology at the University of Guelph. After graduation from Osgoode Hall Law School in 2010, I joined a Toronto health law firm, providing legal counsel to hospitals and health care institutions. My experience includes roles at two teaching hospitals, focusing on research ethics and mental health law.
My legal career has taken me to various courts and tribunals. I have advocated for clients before the Consent and Capacity Board, the Health Services Appeal and Review Board, the Health Professions Appeal and Review Board, the Superior Court of Justice and the Ontario Court of Justice. I also value alternative dispute resolution and have served as a mediator at the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, Small Claims Division.
I'm passionate about leveraging technology to improve access to justice. Our firm offers online courses and resources to empower clients with the knowledge they need to navigate the health care system and reproductive law confidently.
Beyond my legal practice, I'm committed to education and mentorship. Since 2016, I've been an Adjunct Professor at York University, teaching Health Care Law. Previously, I taught negotiation at Osgoode Hall Law School for six years. I regularly mentor law students and participate in judging mooting and negotiation competitions.
When time permits, I also volunteer. In the past few years I served as a director of a Toronto charity that assists people with vision impairments; and I sat on the Ontario Bar Association health law executive. I currently act as an advisor to Prenatal Screening Ontario.
I regularly speak to the media about the latest health law developments. You can click on Media and Speaking & Writing to learn more about my media appearances, presentations and publications.
My contributions to the field have been recognized with several awards, such as the 2015 Precedent Setter Award and a 2014 Clawbie (Canadian Law Blog Award) for best practitioner blog.
If you are contacting us, you likely have plenty to worry about. Our goal is to at least take away the worrying with respect to the law. We will explain things to you in plain English and translate legalese where it is used.
We also rely on our mediation and negotiation training to avoid damaging relationships, or provoking retaliation, while striving to achieve your goals. We understand the expense and time commitment of being an advocate or family caregiver, or trying to have a baby with the assistance of a fertility clinic. We therefore offer flexible office hours and methods of communication. If you would like to correspond by videoconference or text message, just ask!
