Brunswicks LLP Solicitors

Brunswicks LLP

Solicitors specialising in service to health and social care providers

Brunswicks is proud of its long association with Lancashire Care Association which between individuals stretches back to 2000.

Our people concentrate on the sector and we represent a broad range of providers throughout the area. Our clients are drawn from the full range of operators, including the big, national businesses to the owner managed single units. We also represent a range of charities and not-for-profit organisations many of which face exactly the same issues as commercial providers.

Our clients provide services across the full range of care, hospitals, care homes for older people and younger adults, children, specialist providers to those with learning disabilities, mental health problems, acquired brain injury, eating disorders, hyperbaric medicine, bariatric medicine, substance abuse and much more.

LCA together with Keith Lewin, the senior partner of Brunswicks, pioneered the use of free-of-charge help-lines. Today, through LCA, you can contact one of lawyers directly to obtain a view on an issue which might be troubling you or to receive guidance on a matter which has arisen. That telephone support is cost-free to you as a member of LCA.

We understand your business.

Almost all of the calls result in the immediate resolution of the point in issue, where they do not; we will be delighted to quote for any on-going instructions which you can compare against quotes from other sources.

The work we undertake ranges across a broad area, essentially, if it concerns health or social care we will be able to advise.

Keith Lewin is recognised by the 2009 Chambers Client Guide to the UK legal profession as a leading lawyer for matters concerning Health and Social Care.

We work with clients on registration applications to regulators such as CSCI and the Healthcare Commission, CSCI inspection reports and ‘scoring’, we challenge refusals to register, conditions and cancellations.

We assist in the drafting of Statements of Purpose, Service User Guides and all manner of commercial contracts. We will enforce contracts and advise on how best to resolve issues of conflict.

We regularly advise on Protection of Vulnerable Adult matters (and the POCA equivalent for children) and assist with and attend Local Authority Strategy Meetings.

We have dealt with a number of very serious allegations of abuse and a growing number of allegations of manslaughter and corporate manslaughter during the past 24 months.

Additionally, we can assist on employment and human resources issues and we have people who are expert in commercial real estate, in particular care homes and we assist in buying and selling homes and more recently in the growing area of refinancing. We can also help in relation to due diligence investigations, particularly from a regulatory point of view, an essential process when considering investing in a business or acquiring one.

Unusually, in our experience, we will provide bespoke training for your staff, or perhaps just for your directors, on a range of topics tailored to the specific needs of your business.

On a web-page of this size it is not possible to list all of our services but we hope to have conveyed a ‘flavour’ of what we do.
