Experienced in representing professionals in disciplinary proceedings & more
Our professional discipline lawyers are dedicated to each and every individual professional disciplinary case that they work on. We understand the nuances between different regulators and will work hard to provide you with the support you need throughout an investigation. Most importantly, we will always look to secure the best possible outcome for you, as we know how much your registration, professional standing and career mean to you.
From the first free telephone consultation you have with us, we will provide you with clear, well-reasoned advice. It is always our intention to help you understand your situation and the courses of action available to you as well as possible. We are an independent law firm, which means that our advice will always be completely impartial. Throughout your professional disciplinary case, we will use a proactive approach, taking all the steps necessary at each stage, to put you in the best position you can be.
We are able to assist you from the point of initial referral, throughout the investigation and represent you in any hearing and in any appeals you may wish to consider making. Our services include the preparation of written representations, representations at a hearing, advice on the merits of an appeal and representation in appeals.
The earlier you contact us, the more we can do to help.
