Healthcare regulation defence lawyers

Each year we represent hundreds of professionals before their regulators, in criminal investigations, at inquests, in disciplinary proceedings and many other professional matters. However, our team are more than expert solicitors, we are also highly experienced advocates, with years of experience of representing doctors and dentists in interim orders hearings, GDC committee hearings, Medical Practitioner Tribunal Service (MPTS) tribunal hearings, inquests, police investigations and disciplinary panels; whatever the problem our legal experts provide a seamless service that combines pragmatic advice with high-quality advocacy.

For decades, we have been instructed in many of the most complex and highest profile cases which have established the law in medical regulation, disciplinary, inquests and crime. These are our core expertise, meaning we are exceptionally well focussed and placed to advise, represent and guide you through whatever the problem may be.

We believe that no firm can match our experience — when you instruct Weightmans we will match you to one of our leading healthcare and medical defence lawyers who will provide you with the right assistance, at the right time and in the right location. Through our extensive experience of defending Doctors and Dentists in GDC committee hearings and GMC tribunal hearings we can help you to connect with medical experts and experienced barristers who can help you to defend the allegations.

We take pride in the quality of the services we provide to healthcare professionals who want advice and support with defending themselves against a GMC or GDC investigation or the defence of any other disciplinary or criminal allegation. However, don’t take our word for that as the industry feedback from legal publications such as Chambers and Partners and the Legal 500 is that our firm is rated in the very top tier for professional discipline and regulation — many of our lawyers are rated amongst the best in healthcare law.
