Why regulatory cases require a specialist
Regulatory prosecutions often involve multiple agencies and complex statutory regimes. A conviction can trigger disqualification, loss of licence, or removal from professional registers. David Roy advises at every stage: pre-charge engagement with the regulator to avoid prosecution, representation under caution, full court defence, and sentencing mitigation.
