When it comes to points of law that might be outside your team’s direct expertise, we can advise on a whole range of issues, from constitutional and strategic matters to highly sensitive challenges and appeals.

We have a specialist team of barristers and solicitors, who appear regularly before all forms of disciplinary tribunals and the Courts, including handling statutory appeals and judicial reviews.

Alongside our established practice of working for regulators, we have a growing practice in representing professionals facing disciplinary proceedings before their regulators.

We regularly advise professional regulators on contracts with suppliers and other commercial aspects (including heads of terms, memorandums of understanding, exclusivity and confidentiality agreements), as well as the final commercial agreement to their businesses.

From advice on employee relations matters, TUPE and pay disputes to claims including large scale litigation in the Employment Tribunal, civil and appellate Courts, Capsticks has substantial experience in advising professional regulators on the full range of employment law issues.

Our governance team are used to advising regulators on their powers and constitutional frameworks and helping them ensure that their decisions are not open to challenge by way of judicial review.

We know that regulators are constantly having to deal with data protection, freedom of information and confidentiality law issues. We are used to helping clients respond to requests, deal with referrals to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) and ensure that they have the correct policies and procedures in place.

Evidence gathering and case building are a drain on resource, but with a large team, we’re able to help clients manage even complex cases within a sensible time-frame.

Regulators are regularly involved in court proceedings whether that’s statutory appeals, judicial reviews or other civil claims (including enforcing costs orders) and we have long standing experience of advising on these.

Our national, market-leading real estate team have advised a number of regulators on property related matters, including major moves of their offices as well as short term tenancies and dilapidations issues.
