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 Us

Professional 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.
