Role Purpose
We are seeking an experienced Regulatory Lawyer to provide legal advice, advocacy, and casework support within an in-house Fitness to Practise team.
You will prepare and present complex professional regulation cases before statutory committees, appeal panels, and, where appropriately qualified, the High Court. Working closely with operational colleagues and investigators, you will ensure cases are progressed efficiently, thoroughly, and in line with the organisation’s statutory responsibilities.
The role will also provide practical legal advice throughout the Fitness to Practise process, support the development of investigation teams, and contribute to continuous improvement across the wider regulatory function.
Key Responsibilities
- Prepare and present Fitness to Practise and registration appeal cases before committees and panels, and before the High Court where applicable.
- Draft high-quality legal documentation, including statements of facts, allegations, skeleton arguments, interim order applications, and court applications.
- Advise on case strategy, evidence, risk, proportionality, and the need for interim orders.
- Support casework teams to assess, investigate, and progress concerns efficiently and effectively.
- Provide clear legal advice, guidance, and training to investigators and casework colleagues.
- Manage a varied and high-volume caseload, ensuring cases meet required timescales and quality standards.
- Communicate effectively with registrants, legal representatives, witnesses, external partners, and internal stakeholders.
- Keep up to date with relevant legislation, regulatory policy, procedural rules, and case law.
- Identify learning from hearings and legal developments, helping to improve processes, guidance, and decision-making.
- Participate in relevant projects and working groups across the regulatory operations function.
