Professional Conduct and Discipline
Defending professional conduct and discipline allegations to help you maintain a positive reputation.
Being accused of professional misconduct can be extremely damaging and you may need help with defending allegations. The Straw & Pearce team is experienced in dealing with a wide variety of cases, ranging from criminal offences to allegations of serious misconduct.
Straw & Pearce has a dedicated team that advises and defends professional clients facing investigations by their own professional bodies as well as independent complaints bodies. Such investigations can involve breaches of the standards of professional practice as well as criminal matters. We also regularly represent clients appearing before professional conduct and disciplinary tribunals.
Mark Wardley, head of the Professional Discipline department, has built a reputation for his robust and proactive approach to defending professional conduct and discipline allegations. Recent cases include the successful representation of professional clients accused of manslaughter, corruption and misconduct in public office.
