Regulatory & Professional Conduct

Our regulatory lawyers look after your professional and business reputation when it matters most.

Talk to us

Our regulatory and professional conduct team is made up of specialist lawyers with decades of experience across a wide range of disciplines. 

We have a strong track record of helping individuals and businesses to navigate the complexities of ever-evolving regulatory landscapes.

Working with us will help to minimise the impact of any investigations, enforcement actions and financial and reputational exposure.

We also help with risk management — proactively identifying any areas that may need improvement and providing practical steps to take remedial action.

In the event that something goes wrong, we’re on-hand to provide bespoke and straightforward advice. We’ll guide you through the best response to any regulatory investigation, prosecution or enforcement, while preserving your professional, business and personal reputation.

Guiding you through complex regulatory landscapes

You may need advice on which regulations or laws apply to you or your business, how to discharge and comply with your personal duties and obligations, any liabilities that may arise or how to remedy and mitigate circumstances when things go wrong.

Our regulatory, compliance and professional conduct solicitors draw on decades of experience to offer specialist advice and consultancy services and provide a comprehensive, robust approach to safeguard you, your business and your people.

Whichever regulator affects your business — whether it’s the Health and Safety Executive, Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, Environment Agency, Care Quality Commission, Trading Standards, a local authority or any other — we bring a deep understanding of how they and their processes work. The same goes for individual regulators like the General Medical Council, General Dental Council, NHS England and the Solicitors Regulation Authority (find out more on our professional conduct page). 

Our experience tells us that every client and case is unique. That’s why we always deliver tailored, practical and sector-specific advice, with excellent service.
