Regulation and public law team

The Legal 500 (2023) describes our team as "one of the best professional discipline teams in London." Unusually for solicitors in this area, we also have advocacy rights. One commenter noted the team "fights for clients' interests fearlessly", praising the team's "depth of experience across all professional regulatory bodies, from accountants to sports regulations, auditors, dentists, doctors, solicitors, insurance and banking."

Charging information

Charges are usually based on our hourly rates plus administrative charges and disbursements. We will provide you with an initial estimate of your likely legal costs and will update this as your requirements or the circumstances of the work change.
