Tom Rider
is a partner in our Public and Regulatory Law Group. Tom has
extensive experience of acting for both the newer and longer
established professional regulatory bodies on the full range of
their statutory functions. He regularly presents cases to
their disciplinary committees and has been responsible for the
investigation of many of the largest and most high profile cases.
He handles appeals and applications for judicial review to the High
Court and Court of Appeal, including those raising new or important
legal points. Tom also sits as Legal Assessor to several
disciplinary committees. He regularly advises on the
interpretation of legislation, and has assisted regulatory bodies
on the development of policy, including changes in legislation, and
has experience of drafting secondary legislation.
Tom is described in the Chambers Guide to the
Legal Profession as being “favoured for the high degree of
thoroughness he shows in terms of preparation, his attention to
detail when cases are in progress and his understanding of clients’
requirements.”
Tom speaks on regulatory matters at conferences
and seminars organised by professional regulatory bodies and other
organisations, particularly in the healthcare field. He is a member of the Association
of Regulatory & Disciplinary Lawyers (ARDL).
