OUR SERVICES


We provide a wide range of professional services which cover the point from when you first receive allegations to case resolution. This includes expert guidance and assistance on interim orders and investigating committee case to answer submissions.

Interim Orders

The regulators deem some allegations to be sufficiently serious to propose to a committee that a professional should have a temporary restriction placed on their practice. Our expert advocates will, upon receipt of the interim order bundle, comprehensively review the evidence and provide the relevant committee with submissions on your behalf.

Case To Answer

This is a crucial stage of the FTP process and one which will determine whether the allegations against a professional will proceed to a final hearing or not. Our advocates have years of experience at leading regulators and will craft submissions which will take into account the most recent case law and a meticulous analysis of the evidence.

Case Resolution

Some cases will inevitably proceed past the second stage to case resolution. Our advocates will seek to resolve your case at the earliest possible opportunity without going to a costly full hearing, using their experience in several case resolution possibilities including consensual panel determinations which the regulators are keen to explore.

Professional assistance from the first moment you receive the allegations to the resolution of your case:

Given the similarity of FTP proceedings across regulators we are able to offer services to any professional who is facing allegations.
Fitness to practise (‘FTP’) regulation is undergoing
a profound shift from adversarial proceedings to alternative
resolution. The leading regulators in the UK view FTP as
expensive, wasteful and problematic in that it can hinder rather
than help those who have been referred.

Our advocates, who have worked at leading regulators across the
UK, have been at the forefront of this shift towards cases being
resolved early to avoid expensive and wasteful hearings (which
are often, save for the most serious of cases, unnecessary).

The shift towards early resolution of cases includes what is known
as “consensual panel determinations” (CPD’s) whereby cases are
concluded by agreement or consent without the need for a full
public hearing with witnesses. Our advocates have experience in
drafting hundreds of CPDs in a fair, measured and balanced
manner.

You can expect FTPDA to work constructively on your behalf at
every stage of the process: a strategy which will save you and the
regulator precious time and money.
