Professional background
I advise these bodies on all of their functions, both under domestic and EU law. This can include investigations and enforcement, prosecutions, complaints and discipline, litigation, registration and accreditation. I also advise on governance issues and provide training to Councils, Boards, Committees and staff of public and regulatory bodies.
My team advises across sectors including telecoms, education, health and social care, professional services, aviation, betting and gaming and charities.

Client relations and turnaround time are key for us as a client. We have had a lot of dealings with Barry Fagan and we find he is professional, excellent technically and his manner lends itself towards our committee meetings, which can be contentious at times. Barry has a way of setting out the cold hard facts for a committee but not frightening them about decisions they must make.
