Complying with the regulatory framework in which a business operates is key to success. A regulatory investigation, even if it results in no action being taken, can be disruptive and costly. Our specialist regulatory and compliance lawyers work closely with other professionals to ensure our clients are compliant and avoid regulatory risks.

Working with businesses and individuals, we advise on the complex and highly competitive area of NHS contracting, including appeals for and against awards.

We advise businesses employing doctors, pharmacists and other regulated professionals on what they are permitted to do within commercial operations and the legal and regulatory requirements on those professionals.

We also advise individual clients across a range of professions on professional and fitness to practice investigations and proceedings including actuaries, accountants, lawyers, doctors, dentists, nurses, vets, pharmacists, construction workers and professional sportsmen and woman. Our understanding of criminal law is particularly useful when dealing with investigations by regulators and related police investigations.

Based in Hertfordshire, we work with clients in London and throughout the UK. We receive instructions from all over the UK from national regulators looking to adopt a local approach.
