With ‘deep knowledge of cases and the needs of regulators’, Blake Morgan LLP is consistently mandated to act in professional discipline matters involving education, healthcare, accountancy and legal professionals. The team routinely advocates for regulators before Conduct and Competence and Health Committees, as well as before Fitness to Practise Panels and in the High Court. Healthcare sector expert Clare Strickland leads the practice, which includes regulatory group leader Bradley Albuery, who acts for regulators from the healthcare, legal and accountancy sectors, and Graham Miles, who predominantly focuses on fitness to practise matters. The practice further comprises James Danks, who acts for both regulators and respondents in disciplinary proceedings; Delme Griffiths, whose ’knowledge of regulatory law is encyclopaedic’; and Antonia Dowgray, whose track record encompasses cases for the General Medical Council (GMC), General Dental Council (GDC), and General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC). Also key are barrister Tania Dosoruth, a former Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) senior lawyer; Alison Wood, who has notable healthcare and accountancy sector experience; and Lisa Clark and Sarah Price, who both represent professional regulators in fitness to practise matters.
