Disciplinary complaints and ensuing disciplinary proceedings might be brought at any time by a professional’s regulator. This can happen as a student or trainee before you are even qualified through charges of misbehaviour or examination malpractice and thus cut short a promising career. It might happen after years of devotion to your chosen profession.
Your reputation and professional future may be at stake and it is vital that you receive expert legal advice at an early stage if any issues arise. The fitness to practice lawyers at Ronald Fletcher Baker can guide you through what can otherwise be a difficult and sometimes daunting episode in your life. Experience shows the earlier you engage the assistance of a suitably qualified lawyer, the less likely it is that an allegation will progress to a formal hearing. Should your case proceed beyond the investigation and screening stage, effective representation at any subsequent interim suspension or full disciplinary hearing is plainly indispensable.
