Leading the way in regulatory expertise.
Our professional discipline and regulatory law team has the depth of experience to make accurate and considered judgement calls for you. We recognise the critical importance of carefully balanced advocacy in the regulatory context and understand the reputational risk for your organisation or for you as an individual.
Our impressive expertise in the wider regulatory context is spearheaded by our exceptional and leading position in the field of police misconduct. We get to the heart of the issue using our unparalleled experience.
With a strong presence across the board on all regulatory issues, our barristers represent regulators, companies and individuals in all aspects of regulatory law including professional discipline, civil claims, public inquiries and inquests. We also represent individuals and companies in Health and Safety prosecutions.
Our rigorous understanding of professional discipline and regulatory law means we can apply our expertise to individual circumstances in different contexts quickly and efficiently, saving time and providing you with immediate reassurance.
We draft “Friskies” schedules, appear in contested hearings and, where necessary, secure the best outcome under the relatively recent sentencing regime. Our work in this area is largely underpinned by our formidable strengths in inquests, inquiries and personal injury work.
Our expertise is further bolstered by the fact that we have helped to conduct interviews for panel members to sit in regulatory hearings for CIMA (Chartered Institute of Management Accountants). Accredited team members also regularly act as legal assessors in the Nursing and Midwifery Council and General Dental Council.
We support a wide range of clients from areas including:
