Professional Regulation

The regulation of professional bodies is an area of increasing complexity and the subject of scrutiny from a wide array of groups, including the courts, the media, those subject to the rules and those it protects.

We can provide up to date and specialist advice on the creation of new regulatory bodies, the drafting of their governing rules and the nature and scope of their powers. This work embraces many different sectors from health through financial services to transport and utilities.

Here are a few examples of our work in this area:

• forms and structures of regulatory bodies
• drafting and interpretation of governing rules
• education and qualifications
• codes of conduct
• professional ethics
• complaints and disciplinary proceedings
• statutory control
