What is regulatory dispute?
A regulatory dispute is a disagreement or conflict between a regulatory agency and an individual or organisation over compliance with laws, regulations, or policies. These disputes can arise in various industries, such as finance, healthcare, and environmental protection, and can result in legal action or penalties.

We are specialists in handling such cases and have been involved in most of the major cases in the past 10 years, including Nicklinson in the Supreme Court and most recently this year in the case of Midrar Ali, which dealt with the meaning of brain stem death. We are used to handling cases involving various pathways that medical professionals use in dealing with Do Not Resuscitate decisions.
