What counts as a regulatory offence and when should I seek specialist advice in London?

Regulatory offences include breaches of statutory duties such as fraud, bribery, environmental breaches, and health and safety failures. If a regulator begins enquiries or enforcement action is threatened, early advice helps protect your position and shape an effective response.

How does Aldwych Legal support clients facing regulatory enforcement action?

We assess risk at an early stage, advise on legal exposure, and develop a tailored defence strategy. Our support covers regulator engagement, interviews under caution, evidence review, and court representation where required.

What is the typical process for defending a regulatory investigation?

Defence usually involves evidence gathering, privilege protection, liaison with investigators, interview preparation, and strategic disclosure. We manage each stage carefully to minimise disruption and protect legal and commercial interests.

Can a regulatory offences barrister be instructed and how does that work?

Yes. Barristers may be instructed for specialist advocacy or complex legal opinions. We coordinate solicitor and barrister roles to ensure a consistent, cost-effective defence strategy aligned with your objectives.

What factors influence the defence strategy in regulatory prosecutions?

Key factors include the strength of evidence, potential penalties, regulatory guidance, compliance history, and wider business impact. We focus on proportionate, evidence-led strategies to achieve the best possible outcome.

How is confidentiality protected during regulatory investigations?

We protect confidentiality through legal privilege, controlled disclosure, secure communications, and careful handling of sensitive data, while ensuring compliance with regulatory obligations.

What penalties can arise from regulatory offences?

Penalties may include fines, compliance orders, licence restrictions, or criminal sanctions. Assessment depends on culpability, harm caused, and prior compliance record.

What should I expect from an initial consultation with your regulatory offences team?

The initial consultation clarifies the issue, assesses risk, outlines legal options, and sets out next steps, timelines, and costs in clear, practical terms.

Should a website visitor seek to ascertain the nature of our establishment, Aldwych Legal, it becomes essential for us to clarify the intricacies of our professional classification. Aldwych Legal is a legal consultancy, not a traditional solicitors’ firm. As an international legal consultancy and legal support organisation, we position ourselves distinctly apart from the conventional categorisation of a regulated solicitors’ practice. It is of paramount importance to transparently disclose that Aldwych Legal’s operational framework and support services remain independent of regulatory supervision by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) and the Bar Standards Board (BSB). Our multidisciplinary team consists of legally trained professionals who operate within the framework of unreserved legal activities permitted under the Legal Services Act 2007. Where a matter requires a reserved legal activity, we collaborate with, and where appropriate introduce clients to, carefully selected external solicitors and barristers from our professional network. These regulated practitioners operate under their own authorisation and regulatory obligations. Aldwych Legal continues to deliver high-calibre legal support, strategic advisory work, and comprehensive case preparation with the same diligence and rigour expected of any premier legal service provider, while maintaining full transparency regarding our regulatory status. For full details of our regulatory status and operating framework, please refer to our Legal Services Act 2007 page and our Terms & Conditions.
