Acuity Law have partnered with Ridouts to provide Acuity clients with a discounted bespoke solution for your Health Care, Social Care, Regulatory & Compliance needs.

Ridouts offers legal, operational and strategic advice to health and social care providers. Ridouts has the single purpose of delivering time sensitive, effective and results driven advice to the health and social care sector.

Ridouts is unique in that it only advises providers of health and social care and other bodies that advise the sector, such as other law firms looking for our expertise. This specialism means that, not only, do we know the law that governs the sector, we also know the nuances that come into play. After all there is no textbook way of operating a care business and you need solicitors that don’t just know the regulations, but how to interpret them in the context of multi-faceted pressures, conflicting stakeholder input, and put simply, what the day job looks like for you.

As specialist health and social care lawyers, Ridouts can support you through what can be a labyrinth of legal issues.

We understand the bigger picture of balancing regulatory requirements and political pressures, alongside the provision of high quality care. We also recognise the challenges faced by providers, and work tirelessly to reach the best possible outcomes across a range of regulatory and operational issues.

Ridouts is a team of specialist health and social care lawyers, providing dedicated legal advice for care homes, GP practices, children’s homes, dental practices, domiciliary and home care agencies, supported and independent living services and both private and NHS hospitals.

The social care sector provides essential services to some of the most vulnerable in society. From providing care to the elderly those with learning disabilities or mental health needs, to looking after children, and even at-home help, Ridouts understand the difficulties organisations and businesses providing those services can face. Balancing regulatory requirements with competing stakeholder interest, whilst providing high-quality care can be demanding.
