These outcomes represent a cross-section of the work we do. Every case is different, the regulator, the allegations, the professional’s circumstances, and the stage at which we are instructed all affect what is achievable. We act before the GMC, NMC, HCPC, GPhC, GDC, SRA, SSSC, Social Work England and the Teaching Regulation Agency, among others. What we can say is that early instruction consistently produces better outcomes. If you have received a letter from a regulator, the sooner you speak to us the more options you have.
We do not publish confidential case details. Where we have written about a case, it is because the outcome is a matter of public record or the client has consented. The blog posts linked above give more detail on a selection of the cases listed.
Your regulator triages every complaint and decides whether the matter passes its threshold for investigation. The majority of complaints close at the triage stage with no further action. If the threshold is met, an investigation opens and you will receive a letter from your regulator setting out the allegations and inviting your response. Engaging properly at this stage is critical, most cases are resolved before they reach a tribunal, and a strong regulatory response often closes the investigation entirely.
We do not publish a headline success rate because it would be misleading. Outcomes depend on the facts of each case and the regulator involved. What we can say is that our approach, early, thorough engagement at every stage, consistently produces better outcomes than waiting to defend at a hearing.
Yes. We can review what has been done, advise on strategy going forward, and take over conduct of your case at any stage. We will be honest with you about whether a change of solicitor is likely to make a difference.
Yes, through the Interim Orders Tribunal (IOT), which can impose conditions on or suspend a professional’s registration during an investigation if there is a real risk to patients or to public confidence in the profession. IOT hearings are often the most urgent and stressful part of the process. They warrant specialist preparation.
