General Dental Council Representation

Our barristers in General Dental Council (GDC) law have advised and represented numerous GDC registrants over the years. We provide bespoke advice and guidance to GDC registrants on making submissions on paper to close cases without a hearing, where possible. We also advise on preparing for a GDC investigation or a GDC hearing. We provide representation services for interim orders hearings and substantive fitness to practise hearings. We also advise on GDC registration, restoration, and appeals.
