Ridouts Professional Services Ltd Information

At Ridouts, we know the health and social care sector and the details that can make the difference to your business. We provide legal, operational and strategic advice to providers who are faced with matters that could negatively impact their businesses. We help our clients to find defences and positive outcomes to, often, commercially damaging situations. We work with you to manage and reduce risks presented to your business which, in turn, preserves business value. Our work covers a whole spectrum of matters, including: • Challenging CQC inspection reports and ratings • Challenging CQC notices to suspend, cancel or vary registration • Challenging warning notices, fixed penalty notices and prosecutions • Appeals to the First-Tier Tribunal • Registration advice and challenges to refuse • Safeguarding investigations • Advising on commissioner fee and contract disputes and embargos • Coroner’s Inquests • Police investigations • Regulatory due diligence At Ridouts we only act for providers and other bodies that advise the sector, such as other law firms looking for our expertise. This specialism means that not only do we know the law that governs the sector we also know the nuances that come into play. After all there is no textbook way of operating a care business and you need solicitors that don’t just know the regulations, but how to interpret them in the context of multi-faceted pressures, conflicting stakeholder input, and put simply, what the day job looks like for you. Running a health and social care business can be tough, but working together we can help lighten the load. There is no such thing as an ordinary day in care. Your legal advice shouldn’t be ordinary either. We work with you through the extraordinary. www.ridout-law.com info@ridout-law.com 0207 317 0340
