Public & regulatory bodies
What we offer public and regulatory bodies
Bindmans offers a full range of expert and cost-effective legal services tailored to meet the specialist needs of public and regulatory bodies. Bindmans was one of the earliest civil liberties firms, and a public service ethos continues to drive our lawyers and the firm as a whole. Bindmans is, therefore, the ideal legal partner for professional and public bodies including local authorities and health trusts.
All organisations are facing increasingly complex legislation and regulation, including compliance with the Human Rights Act. For public and regulatory bodies, failing to comply can be especially costly - both in compensation payments and in public confidence being undermined.
We are based in central London and our national reputation means we attract clients from across the country. With the largest team of dedicated human rights lawyers in the country, no other law firm is as well placed to steer you through the complexities of the Human Rights Act. Our specialist lawyers are experienced at advising professional bodies to ensure disciplinary procedures and regulations comply with human rights and other relevant legislation.
Our expertise means you can reduce the risk of problems arising. We offer a range of ‘healthchecks’ in areas such as redundancy, data protection, and freedom of information, to ensure that your systems and policies are legally sound. If problems do arise, we will deal with them quickly and decisively to minimise the cost and damage to your organisation’s reputation. We try to resolve disputes early by taking a pragmatic and conciliatory approach. However, where legal action is unavoidable, we will act robustly to achieve the best possible outcome.
