Regulatory Law Solicitors
This work sits alongside our established criminal defence practice and reflects the same considered, strategic approach to get the best results for which the firm is known.
Our regulatory work is largely split into two distinct areas: professional discipline and defending local authority prosecutions or regulatory private prosecutions.
Contact UsProfessional Discipline
We act for individuals facing allegations of serious misconduct before regulators, including:
General Medical Council
General Dental Council
Solicitors Regulation Authority
Bar Standards Board
Financial Conduct Authority
We assist both businesses and individuals from advising from a self-report, to pre-action representations, investigations, interim and disciplinary hearings to appeals. Advising at every stage.
Decisions made early in a regulatory investigation can have significant professional and reputational consequences.
Our approach is considered and robust.
Local Authority Prosecutions
We have defended a variety of local authority prosecutions including breaches of:
Education Regulations
Licensing Requirements
Parking Regulations
Environmental and Planning Law
Building / Planning Regulations
Health and Safety Legislation
Environmental Regulations
Trademarks Breaches
Our work in this area draws on extensive criminal experience as these proceedings are prosecuted in the criminal courts.
We understand how regulatory prosecutions are investigated, prepared and presented and we often mount successful legal challenges on the basis of failings in the investigative or prosecution process.
Private Prosecutions
We have acted for individuals and companies prosecuted by train companies, utilities companies, animal welfare charities.
