Professional Practitioners, whatever their discipline, require specialist legal support. Whether this advice is on partnerships, real estate, employment or litigation law it must take into account the overall medical and, where relevant, NHS regulatory framework. Failure to take this into account is likely to result in you being deprived of benefits which should otherwise be open to you in the commercial environment.

Our unique team includes dual-qualified dentists, doctors and lawyers whose combined knowledge offers an unrivalled insight into the specific legal challenges and opportunities facing doctors, dentists and other professional practitioners.

Under the Health and Social Care Bill GPs will of course take on a greatly enhanced role in commissioning healthcare services and we are already providing advice on setting up Clinical Commissioning Groups, from deciding the most appropriate form of incorporation to determining the best governance arrangements - we have the expertise and experience to assist with all legal aspects. For more information please visit our Clinical Commissioning Groups pages.

The team are regularly asked to contribute their expertise to other publications. A selection of recent articles can be found here.
