Facing disciplinary proceedings

If you are facing professional disciplinary proceedings you should seek specialist advice to protect your interests and safeguard your practice. Our lawyers can assist at all stages of proceedings, including initial referral and investigation, assistance with written responses to allegations, representation at interim orders/interim measures hearings and professional conduct hearings. 

Our firm is recommended by the Legal 500 for professional disciplinary work. We have a network of offices, including London & Manchester, allowing us to act for clients nationwide. We take a pro-active approach to defending cases and we pride ourselves on achieving the best possible results for our clients. We appreciate that regulators often impose tight deadlines on and we regularly prepare cases at very short notice. 

In addition to dealing with professional disciplinary matters, as a full-service law firm we also assist professional clients with a range of legal matters including professional negligence claims, contractual disputes and litigation, commercial property matters and criminal investigations.
