The quartet of Sam Flew, Nigel West, Susanna Heley, and Tom Thurlow leads the team, with experience in the healthcare, legal, and construction sectors. The team is bolstered by the knowledge of William Childs, who advises clients in relation to disciplinary, regulatory, and criminal investigations and prosecutions in the healthcare sector.
