In the next episode of our regulatory podcast ReguLaw, Partner and Regulatory specialist, Andrew Pavlovic, and Associate, Liz Pearson are joined by Michael Evans of Byfield. Byfield are market leaders in providing reputation counsel to law firms and individuals facing regulatory investigations and proceedings and Michael has significant experience in this area. Andrew, Liz and Michael discuss how firms and individuals can attempt to manage the consequences of an SRA investigation and potential SDT prosecution at various stages of the process, including: - The investigative stage – the potential for publication at this early stage and the preparatory steps that firms and individuals can take; - The referral stage – how to manage concerns about the impact of publicity on mental/physical health and how individuals/firms can handle the unpredictability of the timing of publication on the SRA’s website; - The hearing - the SDT’s new Automatic Disclosure Policy, and the impact this is likely to have on the press coverage of proceedings going forwards. We hope you enjoyed this episode of ReguLaw. If you have any questions or would like to feature as a special guest in a future episode, please get in touch with Partner Andrew Pavlovic.
