Health & Social Care
Specialist Legal Advice for Care Providers
At Gordons Partnership, we act exclusively for providers of health and social care services across England and Wales. We do not act for regulators, commissioners or service users, allowing us to provide independent advice focused entirely on the interests of care providers.
Why Expertise Matters in Health & Social Care
Our Health and Social Care team supports organisations across both the private and public sectors, including:
- Care homes (residential and nursing)
- Home care providers
- Supported living services
- Children’s homes and supported accommodation
- Nurseries, pre-schools and childminders
- Hospitals and clinics
- Community and mental health services
- GP practices
- Dental practices
- Responding to draft inspection reports issued by CQC, Ofsted and CIW
- Defending providers who are the subject of enforcement action taken by CQC, Ofsted and CIW
How We Can Help
We advise providers on all aspects of regulation by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), Ofsted and Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW), including challenging inspection reports and defending providers facing civil or criminal enforcement action.
We also advise unregistered providers on whether they require registration in order to operate lawfully.
Our Partner Neil Grant has a national reputation in the sector, having previously acted for the national inspectorates as well as major care providers.
Our team advises providers on a wide range of regulatory, commercial and legal matters, including:
- Safeguarding enquiries
- Contract disputes, including fee disputes
- Police investigations and prosecutions
- Mental health, mental capacity and DoLS
- Health and safety matters
- Inquests
- Removal of service users by purchasing authorities
- Court of Protection proceedings
- Data protection and GDPR
- Defamation and handling the media
