Pinta has a broad civil and commercial litigation practice and is head of Tyr's Medical Malpractice Group. Prior to joining Tyr, Pinta practised primarily in plaintiffs' medical negligence at top tier personal injury firms. She also spent several years defending physicians in civil and college proceedings and maintaining a broad commercial litigation practice at Lenczner Slaght. Her commercial experience includes employment litigation, shareholder disputes, complex contractual and commercial disputes and class actions.

Pinta helps patients pursue cases against doctors, nurses, hospitals, hospital employees, clinics and other health care institutions. Having previously defended physicians, Pinta is one of the few plaintiff-side lawyers who can draw on her experience as defence counsel to effectively advocate for individuals injured by medical negligence.
