MSB Regulatory solicitors provide advice and representation to clients across the wide spectrum of regulatory law.
MSB Regulatory solicitors are instructed by clients from many authorities that undertake the policing, compliance and enforcement of regulations which govern a host of activities associated with the conduct of business.
Policing, compliance and enforcement is exercised through inspection processes or investigation of complaints. Such investigations can result in a required change as to the way in which a business is operating, for example so that requisite licensing is maintained by the business.
Where a regulatory authority considers it is necessary, investigations can result in the prosecution of regulatory breaches and offences. The penalties upon conviction can involve eye wateringly high financial penalties and costs, and in certain cases sentences of imprisonment.
Whilst regulatory authorities may have different ways of working within their particular sphere of operation, investigations and prosecutions follow similar procedural and evidential methods and systems. Cases which proceed to prosecution are heard before the Magistrates and Crown Courts, although civil court proceedings may also be involved.
Part of the service provided by MSB Regulatory solicitors is to assist in identifying the fact that they operate and comply within the rules and regulations applying to their specific business.
MSB Regulatory solicitors has significant experience of working with these Regulatory Authorities to represent the interest of clients during investigations. We engage with investigators to determine the scope of their enquiry, ascertaining the evidence relied upon by the regulatory authority. Having carefully assembled the facts, our skilled and experienced regulatory lawyers endeavour to negotiate a resolution and settlement of the complaint under investigation, but without recourse to court proceedings.
If proceedings result, MSB Regulatory lawyers prepare a detailed defence, critically analysing and challenging the prosecution case as to both fact and law. During court proceedings, MSB present client cases though skilled and persuasive advocacy. Our singular purpose is to obtain the best possible outcome on behalf of our clients.
