A broad, exciting range of work

The criminal regulatory team undertakes a broad spectrum of work from motor crime to healthcare and environmental regulatory matters.

The work involved tends to be technical and demands candidates who have sound critical thinking skills as well as a practical commercial approach.

A challenging role drawing on all your skills as a lawyer

The nature of the work can involve everything from inquests and criminal hearings to advising on day-to-day compliance issues.
