Facing Regulatory Breaches or Investigations? We Are Here to Help
Being accused of a regulatory breach or undergoing an investigation can be overwhelming. The stakes are often high, with potential consequences for your business, career, and reputation. Navigating complex regulatory frameworks requires specialist expertise and a proactive approach to safeguard your interests.
At Lostock Legal, we provide tailored legal services to guide individuals and businesses through these challenges. Our experienced team will protect your rights, minimise risks, and work tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome.
Investigations: Protecting Your Interests
If you are under investigation for a regulatory breach, early and effective legal representation is essential. We can:
- Engage with Regulatory Bodies: We negotiate directly with regulators to achieve favourable outcomes, potentially resolving matters without formal proceedings.
- Assist During Interviews Under Caution: If a crime is alleged, we can attend interviews with you, advise you on your rights, and ensure your responses are carefully managed.
- Handle Post-Investigation Cases: If you have already been interviewed and are under investigation, we can step in to represent you, review the evidence, and develop a robust defence strategy.
- Liaise with the National Crime Agency (NCA): For more serious cases involving the NCA, we can act as your advocate, handling all communication and protecting your interests throughout the process.
Being under investigation can feel isolating, but our team will provide expert support and clear guidance to ensure you are not navigating this alone.
Disciplinary Hearings and Court Proceedings: Protecting Your Reputation
Facing disciplinary hearings or court proceedings can have severe repercussions on your professional standing. At Lostock Legal, we focus on safeguarding your career and reputation by:
- Building a Strong Defence: We collect evidence to strengthen your case, identify weaknesses in the allegations against you, and challenge any unfair accusations.
- Minimising Penalties: Where breaches are proven, we work to reduce any penalties to the absolute minimum, preserving your professional standing.
- Ensuring Fair Treatment: We ensure that regulatory bodies act within their powers and adhere to due process, protecting your legal rights at every stage.
