Thirty Nine Essex Street has unrivalled depth of expertise in this area. It is top-ranked by Chambers UK and Legal 500, and is said to offer an “elite phalanx” of practitioners. Members provide specialist advice in every principal area of disciplinary law. They are uniquely placed to draw on the knowledge of chambers’ wide range of practice groups to offer innovative solutions to their clients.

Members are instructed in cases concerning the discipline of registrants across the health care and legal professions, as well as those regulated in the fields of financial services, the media, sport, social care, fertility treatment, education, pharmaceuticals and policing. We have experience as advisors, advocates and panel members as well as appearing before tribunals and hearings in the High Court and up to the Privy Council. Members frequently deal with judicial review challenges to the decisions of regulators, and represent the Council for Healthcare Regulatory Excellence.
