Legal Solutions for the Veterinary Industry

Klinedinst's Veterinary Malpractice Defense group focuses on providing legal solutions that are specifically tailored for veterinarians and veterinary practices.

Klinedinst attorneys possess vast experience in this area, primarily relating to harassment and discrimination, wrongful termination, and unfair competition. Our employment lawyers also routinely handle issues involving interpretation of legislation, hiring practices, employment eligibility verification, discrimination, retaliation, harassment, and disability claims. Our attorneys also handle specific issues impacting California employers, such as the Private Attorneys General Act of 2004, California wage and hour provisions, immigration laws and audits, employment eligibility, Form I-9 compliance and verification, and issues related to employee privacy and defamation.

Klinedinst lawyers are able to represent veterinarians before the California Veterinary Medical Board (VMB) during investigations, administrative hearings and appeals. Our experience includes representing veterinarians who are the subjects of government investigations. Additionally, Klinedinst has represented both veterinarians, nurses, and other affiliated healthcare providers in administrative actions that seek to restrict, reduce, or revoke their privileges.
