PROFESSIONAL FEES: OHIP vs LEGAL FEES

2012 Canadian Lawyer Legal Fee Survey reports that the average hourly rates for Ontario lawyers range from $243 for new graduates to $365 for lawyers practising for 10 years. OHIP pays same fee for rookie and`experienced MD. No promotion & no bonuses. Approx 50% of hourly rate for new LLB. OHIP = pro bono work with high risk of WORLD-WIDE patient & family complaints at no expense to complainant even if frivolous. Govt FIXED PRICE CONTRACT work with no WSIB coverage and NO GOVT.BENEFITS. Same rate for practice in high rent area and low rent rural areas. COMMENT: only few grads of Toronto Upper Canada College enter Med.School in Canada.
