NMC Lawyers for Nurses and Midwives
If you are a nurse or midwife facing an NMC investigation or referral to the NMC’s Fitness to Practise Committee, we are here to help. Our specialist NMC defence lawyers are experienced in supporting professionals across all areas of nursing and midwifery, helping you safeguard your registration, career, and reputation.

Expert Defence for Nurses and Midwives
Our team has successfully represented:
- NHS hospital and community-based nurses and midwives
- Nurses working in private practices
- Nurses employed in care homes and nursing homes
At Richard Nelson LLP, we understand how stressful and isolating regulatory investigations can be. That’s why we work tirelessly to defend your PIN and ensure your side of the story is presented clearly and professionally.
With a proven track record of positive outcomes, we are committed to delivering practical, robust legal representation tailored to your individual needs.
Contact UsTransparent, Affordable Legal Representation
We offer a free initial telephone consultation to nurses and midwives under investigation, providing you with the opportunity to speak with NMC solicitors without pressure or obligation. If you decide to instruct us, we will:
- Offer clear and upfront pricing, usually on a fixed-fee basis.
- Tailor your fee quote to the complexity and specifics of your case.
- Work with your union if applicable.
Most of our clients fund their own defence, often because they were not an RCN or other union member at the time of the incident, or because their union declined support. However, if your union is willing to fund your case, we are happy to coordinate with them to ensure you are represented by an NMC lawyer you trust.
