Background

About Lori Stoltz

I am a founding partner of Morris + Stoltz + Evans LLP, a dynamic boutique retained on challenging medical negligence, health care, public health, and patient advocacy matters. For more than 30 years, I have acted for patients and their families on medical negligence and other matters, as well as a wide range of health care and public health providers, decision-makers, and advocacy organizations across the Canadian health care delivery system. I engage in litigation, opinion work and policy analysis matters. I offer a broad perspective, careful attention to the needs of my clients, and a passion for pursuing legal issues and cases aimed at making the Canadian health care safer, more accessible, and more accountable. I have had career-long engagement on public health matters, including as co-author of Public Health Law and Practice in Ontario: The Health Protection and Promotion Act (J. Speakman, L. Stoltz and R. Blake), and as former Chair of the Health Protection Appeal and Review Board (now part of the Health Services Appeal and Review Board). During the COVID-19 pandemic, I advised public health authorities across Ontario and others, including Ontario’s Long-Term Care COVID-19 Commission. I am a regular contributor to the Medical Malpractice Newsletter published by the Ontario Trial Lawyers Association (OTLA).
