The Division

We are consistently ranked in the top tier in the Legal 500 and Chambers UK directories for Professional Discipline. Our expertise in both health and regulation sets us apart from the competition. Our purpose is to deliver results that matter. We are proud to be the firm of choice for organisations who work to make a difference. We are committed to putting people first, doing the right thing and forward thinking.

We have handled many thousands of regulatory cases over the last 20 years, covering case investigation, preparation and presentation. We work for seven of the ten health and social care regulators, as well as regulators in legal services and education. We have worked on some of the most complex and high profile cases faced by professional regulators, including for our own regulators, the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) and the Bar Standards Board (BSB).

Our reputation across the regulatory sectors built on providing proportionate, timely and high quality case preparation and presentation and a service that demonstrates value for money. Our breadth of experience means that we are at the forefront of regulation, legislative and policy changes and best practice. We have the experience, resources and systems in place to deliver the services to a high quality and within agreed time frames.

The Role
