Criminal & Regulatory in Healthcare
As a healthcare professional we know you will be working in an increasingly regulated environment, perhaps finding yourself subjected to formal actions by your regulator.
Doctors, dentists and nurses and so many other professionals, work incredibly hard to offer their patients the best possible service. Unfortunately, complaints still happen from time to time, whether that’s for misconduct or treatment and care that has fallen below the required and expected standards.
Allegations like this can be terminal to the reputation and, ultimately, career of the professional against whom the complaint has been made. Our expert legal representation can support you through these challenging times.
Our Crime team have been ranked in the Chambers & Partners 2025 legal directory. The team was described as “experienced in financial crime” and were praised for their excellent “level of service and responsiveness.”
“HJA’s fraud team is distinct in the market due to its longstanding experience of its senior lawyers on a wide range of matters, prosecuted by multiple agencies. They work closely with their general crime team, as well as disputes that feed into other closely linked areas of law, such as civil disputes and employment.” – Legal 500, 2025

Who do we help?
Healthcare is wide and varied and our lawyers have advised:
- Doctors
- Dentists
- Nurses
- Care Homes
- Healthcare Entrepreneurs
- Pharmacists
All of the above, depending on the circumstances, can face regulatory action in respect of alleged wrongdoing or even criminal prosecution. If you need legal support in the face of an accusation, our expert team will work alongside you every step of the way.
While action may be taken as a result of a patient complaint, it may also be taken when a regulating authority identifies a matter itself that needs further investigation. Our combined financial crime and regulatory team can help to guide and support you through both situations should they arise.
