Bio
Tracey Tremayne-Lloyd (TTL) is a Certified Specialist in Health Law and has been practicing health law for over three decades.
At the time that TTL began her dedication to the study and practice of health law, the subject was not taught in Canadian law schools, nor was it recognized as a specialty by the Law Society of Upper Canada.
Recognizing the changing legal landscape and increased legal oversight and accountability in health care delivery, TTL became a writer, lecturer, and practitioner in a new regulatory, policy driven, and legally restrictive arena.
“representing clients zealously, maintaining the highest ethical standards, and communicating well with clients are the foundations of my practice.”
TTL founded the Health Law Section of the Ontario Bar Association in 1987 and was its first National Health Law Chair. In conjunction with a highly specialized committee she assembled, TTL authored and published the first report from the legal profession across North America on the legal implications of HIV/AIDS and the protection of civil rights.
TTL is widely recognized for her expertise in the representation of the health professions of Ontario, Canada and the US. With extensive experience in the Superior, Divisional and Courts of Appeal of Ontario, she has successfully represented numerous clients before many of the top administrative boards and tribunals, including Medical Advisory Committees and Boards of Governors of various Ontario hospitals.
Throughout her career as a health law lawyer, TTL has had her hand on the pulse of the health law business. Nurturing health law’s development from the beginning, TTL is a specialist on its origins and a leading voice and expert in its current applications. She will be a strong and anchoring force for its future.
