Clifford Johnston & Co Limited

I wholeheartedly recommend Jared McNally at Clifford Johnston. The online discussions were handled very sensitively, which I was very grateful for given my low mood. Communication was clear and responses very quick. I was assisted to understand each step of the process and was very happy with submissions made on my behalf and received the result I was hoping for. I could not have done this on my own. I highly recommend.

I recently instructed Jared in relation to a professional regulatory matter as a healthcare professional and was extremely grateful for his support, professionalism, and guidance throughout the process. From the outset, he was approachable, responsive, and reassuring during what was naturally a very stressful situation. He took the time to explain matters clearly, was thorough in his preparation, and worked hard to ensure I felt properly supported throughout proceedings. Jared also instructed an excellent barrister for the hearing who represented the case very effectively before the panel. It was clear he has strong professional connections and experience dealing with regulatory matters, which gave me a great deal of confidence throughout the process. I particularly appreciated his calm and pragmatic approach, attention to detail, and the way he communicated throughout the case. The matter ultimately resulted in a very positive outcome and I felt my case was handled carefully and professionally at all times. I would strongly recommend Jared to anyone facing professional or regulatory proceedings. If you ever find yourself going through a regulatory matter, he is definitely someone worth contacting.

I cannot thank Jared McNalley and Simon Gurney enough for the outstanding support and representation they provided throughout my case before the teaching regulatory authority. From start to finish, they were impeccable in every aspect of their work. Jared was professional, responsive, and incredibly reassuring throughout the entire process. Simon’s advocacy and expertise during the hearing were exceptional, and together they made an extremely stressful situation far more manageable. What stood out most was not only their professionalism and attention to detail, but also the genuine emotional support they provided at every stage. They treated me with respect, understanding, and compassion while always fighting tirelessly in my defence. I would highly recommend both Jared and Simon to anyone needing first-class legal representation. Their dedication, expertise, and commitment to achieving the best outcome were truly second to none.

Andrea Belshaw who only works from home and can sometimes be unavailable for weeks only has basic knowledge when the process varies from the norm and takes far too long to complete tasks.

Jared was absolutely exceptional from start to finish. He was meticulous and left no stone left unturned. Prompt, true to his word and detailed with his approach. He has changed my life and is excellent and what he does. Cannot recommend enough.

Jared McNally at Cliffford Johnston & Co really understood and built up my case well. He and his team have a great package for regulatory cases which in my case included early access to a Barrister. Jared and the team took great care in presenting my case and came up with some great points from their detailed review of the evidence. I was really proud of the submissions they put forward on my behalf and they put the evidence I already had in a really persuasive way. The result was an overwhelmingly successful outcome, which has been a huge weight off my mind. I am already using Clifford Johnston again and would recommend them wholeheartedly.

I have been a frontline social worker since 2009 with unblemished track record. However, in August 2020, l found myself facing a Fitness To Practice Investigation by Social Work England (SWE). This was following my involvement in a domestic incident I had with my family earlier in April 2020. This was during the COVID-19 period. The carefully concocted and malicious allegations against me were investigated by the Police but later dropped in March 2021. Yet, SWE did not end it there. In fact, not only did I find myself facing their wrath, but as a person of colour, I felt they were bent on destroying my reputation/carrier so they can add me to their statistics. At this stage, I had been separated from my family, lost my job and became homeless. All of these happened so quickly and so fast that it felt like a bad dream. I was so overwhelmed that I could barely think of what to do with my life. And to make matters worst, SWE stopped communicating directly with me and instead had their legal team, Capstics, on my neck. Well, this is no-brainer, I have neither the knowledge nor the confidence to defend myself against a well established cooperate law firm. Put differently, l knew l was facing a kangaroo court at this stage if l also did not lawyer-up. It is true that contesting the legalities invoked in a case like this is a daunting and expensive process. But the alternative was to do nothing and allow SWE and their legal team to use the concocted evidence at their disposal to achieve their goal- to destroy my reputation/carrier. I have practised with unblemished record and I was absolutely determined to clear my name. So, as usual, I spent many hours trawling through several solicitor websites. Of course there is a lot of information out there on the internet. But the difficulty, however, was finding the appropriate solicitors who are well vested in this type of case. Thankfully, a very good friend (a law student) recommended Clifford Johnston & Co and I got in touch with Jared McNally in December 2022. Jared gave me hope from the very first day we spoke on the phone. Not only did he use his expertise and professionalism to guide me through the process, he was also equally dedicated and approachable. Jared even went to the extra mile and responded to emails/text messages at the weekend, out of office hours, and even when he was away on his annual leave. To cut a long story short, the case did not even proceed to the FTP hearing. Earlier this month (August 2023), 8 months after Jared's involvement, the case has been DISCONTINUED. After 3.5years of stereotyping, humiliation, bullying, intimidation and sleepless nights, l am now a free man and practising a career that l love and enjoy.
