The professional regulatory team at Blake Morgan LLP provides a range of legal services across the health and social care, legal, education, and accountancy sectors, with the team representing both regulators and those professionals that they regulate. Clare Strickland leads the team, with particular expertise in representing regulators from the healthcare sector. The team is bolstered by the experience of Bradley Albuery, a former criminal defence lawyer who provides support to those facing investigation and enforcement action. Furthermore, Graham Miles specialises in the area of fitness to practise, whilst James Danks and Delme Griffiths lead on SRA disciplinary procedure work before the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal. Key support in this area is provided by Alison Wood and Antonia Dowgray, who bring experience in both the healthcare and accountancy sectors.
