Professional Discipline and Regulatory
At Morrish Solicitors, we have years of experience advising and representing individuals in regulated industries facing disciplinary proceedings by their professional bodies.
Advice and Representation for Professionals

We will work hard to alleviate the burden, help you to understand the process and provide clear and straightforward advice. Our specialist team will be able to advise you on how to best prepare for the process, help collate evidence, draft statements or representations and ensure that you are represented at hearings.

Our Services
Our professional discipline and regulatory solicitors can advise and defend you if you face an investigation or disciplinary action. Our key services include:
- Early advice and investigations
- Making representations to regulatory bodies to avoid disciplinary proceedings
- Representing professionals in relation to interim orders
- Representing professionals during fitness to practise proceedings
- Representing professionals in relation to sanction where impairment is found
- Challenging decisions by appeal to the High Court

Our services can be “unbundled”, meaning you can choose and pay for the legal services you need. This allows you to save money by handling some parts of the process on your own. Alternatively, we can provide a full representation service. Our services are bespoke to you and can be adapted to your changing needs.
We can work with your insurers to approved rates where appropriate; or if you’re not insured, we offer competitive hourly rates. Fixed fees may also be available.

What professions could face a professional discipline investigation?
Registration with a regulatory body is vital to several professions and many can’t practice at all without it. A governing body can revoke your registration or licence if it finds that you’ve breached its regulations, or that you aren’t fit to practice.
Because of this, it can be vital to seek legal advice and representation as early as possible. We can help individuals from a range of professions, including:
- Social workers
- Blacksmiths and Farriers
- Nurses
- Midwives
- Solicitors
- Doctors
- Dentists
- Pharmacists
- Psychologists
- Financial advisors.
