Position
Ralph is a Consultant Solicitor who for the past forty years has acted principally, but not exclusively, for doctors and dentists in times of professional difficulty.

Ralph has in recent years specialised in regulatory cases, regularly appearing before Fitness to Practice Panels of the General Medical Council and has acted for clinicians in many high profile cases.
Ralph has recently been appointed Legal Adviser to the Disciplinary Board of the Institution of Structural Engineers, and also Legal Adviser to the Statutory Committees of the General Pharmaceutical Council.
Career
Ralph trained as a solicitor in his home town of Cheltenham and qualified in 1973. He was a partner in the London firm of Radcliffes Le Brasseur prior to moving to the West Country and joining Star Legal.
