Regulatory Law Solicitors

Reputation is everything. If you are a professional, then it is likely that you have a professional standards board overseeing you. Our team of specialist regulatory solicitors can act for individuals, companies, other such organisations and, in doing so, assist in a variety of ways in each case. This may include where there is a potential regulatory compliance issue that arises, or indeed there is a form of investigation that is taking place.

Professionals are nearly always subject to an existing and evolving code of conduct. We live in a world where a sea of regulation has made it increasingly difficult to keep on top of everything required, and, of course, nobody is perfect.

Common examples of regulatory matters may include professionals with health issues which regulators suggest are an impediment to the professionals’ duties, or a simple dispute over the professionals’ fitness to practice or their competency. Whether the process involves expert instructions, taking statements from relevant parties who may be able to assist or indeed evidencing the ways in which professionals have mitigated any professional breach, it will be our aim to try and achieve the best possible outcome for you.

There are a number of things that we can do to assist clients should problems with a professional regulator exist. With a bank of experts at our disposal, we can help navigate you through the process and try and achieve a favourable outcome on your behalf. This will often, but not always, involve obtaining expert opinion with a view to obtaining reports that may assist.
