Regulatory Compliance & Enforcement

Members of the Regulatory, Compliance and Enforcement Team specialise in a number of specific areas relating to regulatory work. We have experience in advising both public authorities and private clients and of conducting and defending prosecutions in all levels of the Court system including judicial review and case stated.

The Regulatory, Compliance and Enforcement Team members draw from experience in a number of areas including the following:

• Environmental
• Financial Regulatory, Money Laundering and Fraud
  We advise on financial compliance matters, particularly in the context of money laundering and financial regulatory work. Our members also have experience of FSA regulation and investigation work. We have a history of working on anti-money laundering cases. With the introduction of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 and its related legislation this has become an increasingly complex and specialist area. We are able to advise clients in relation to investigations, prosecutions, freezing orders, letters of request, international co-operation arrangements and reporting requirements.
• Food Safety Standards
• Health & Safety
  We act for both individuals and companies in relation to health and safety matters. In addition to instructions on criminal proceedings arising out of this type of work, we also act in relation to health and safety related insurance claims. This work complements our expertise in planning and environment law and we are therefore able to offer clients the advantages of our experience in handling both the criminal and civil aspects of a case.
• Housing
• Medical Regulatory/Disciplinary Work
  We are instructed in a number of health-related disciplinary cases, ranging from those involving medical professionals before the General Medical Council, insurance claims involving medical practitioners belonging to the Medical Defence Union and Medical Protection Society, to cases before the Health and Safety Executive. We have a breadth of experience in this field, having acted both for the regulatory authorities and defendants.
• Planning Breaches
• Trading Standards
  Members act for businesses, individuals and enforcement agencies across the full range of trading standards matters, including trade descriptions, misleading price indications, weights and measures, distance and doorstep selling trademark infringement and under-age sales. We also undertake work in the field of criminal infringement in consumer law, including general product and toy safety, food safety, trade marks, copyright, pricing and video classification.

  Simon Morgan and Adrian Maxwell, both newer members of the team, are also ranked as Leading Juniors in the VHCC Scheme, administered by the Legal Services Commission.
