How can we help?

Our experience
We have extensive experience of advising clients facing enforcement action by regulators, defending clients facing disciplinary hearings and advising clients facing criminal investigations. We understand that the prospect of regulatory action can have serious implications for the survival of a business or for a professional’s practice and we recognise the need for urgent, specialist advice from expert lawyers.
Our experience includes advising on the following areas:

How can our regulatory solicitors help?
Regulatory law is essentially any legislation that affects any aspect of a business. There could be industry-specific laws, such as product safety standards, or more general legislation that applies to every business or organisation e.g. health and safety guidelines.
As experienced regulatory law solicitors, we can help businesses wanting to ensure they are fully compliant, along with businesses dealing with potential breaches and possible enforcement action by the authorities responsible for overseeing that specific area of regulation.
