When professionals are pursued by the state or by regulatory bodies, the issues are often complex and require a forensic level of analysis and application to a case. Our specialist team have these qualities at your disposal.
Overview
This area of law often involves Prosecution by a Local Authority for non adherence to trading standards for instance trademark offences or application by the Security Industry Authority (SIA) to revoke the necessary licence authorisation. The ‘Get Licensed’ criteria is stringent and if you are a door supervisor or an agent or company employing door staff in any roll allow us to guide you.
We are able to assist from written representations to the relevant body or attending the necessary Magistrates Court to appeal a decision.

Disciplinary Proceedings: Solicitors
Solicitors are liable to be disciplined for any breach of the law or of the Professional Rules of Conduct. Solicitors can also be disciplined for providing inadequate professional service.
The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) will not make a judgment as to the quality of the advice given but will punish Solicitors if the way in which the advice was delivered or the manner in which complaints were handled falls short of the required standard. A financial penalty can be imposed and Solicitors can be ordered to forfeit or reimburse their fee and pay costs. Breaches of the Rules can lead to more significant penalties, including fines, suspensions and striking off and, in the most serious cases, an intervention into the Solicitor’s practice can be ordered.
Our lawyers are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, providing immediate, first class legal advice, representation and assistance during disciplinary proceedings. Please contact the Regulatory Department on 0191 5101221 or emailenquires@djmssolicitors.co.uk
