Law firms ranked by client reviews
This work covers independent providers of health and social care operating outside the NHS in England, such as private hospitals, clinics and charities delivering health services, and the commissioning and regulation of those services. A solicitor in this area typically advises on registrations, contracts with commissioners, compliance with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) standards, patient safety, safeguarding, corporate governance, and professional indemnity requirements. They may draft service agreements, negotiate terms with commissioning bodies, and assist with regulatory investigations or complaints handling.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
The key complexities include navigating CQC registration and ongoing compliance, interpreting national patient safety and data protection rules, negotiating supply and framework agreements with NHS bodies, and coordinating across multiple stakeholders such as clinicians, insurers and regulators. The role also involves handling governance, quality reporting, and the risk of enforcement action that can impact licensure or business continuity.
