Michelle Stewart is an experienced Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives, providing a high level of legal service in Regulatory Law. 

 

She represents Trade Union members facing the investigation of allegations being conducted by their Regulator, primarily the NMC, HCPC, SWE, SCW, EWC, GPC and the TRA. 

 

Michelle has a broad range and depth of experience in providing legal representation and advice to clients from the screening stage of a referral to a Fitness to Practise Hearing.  Such referrals may involve clinical errors, dishonesty, criminal conviction or sexual misconduct.  

 

Another aspect of her work, typically because of the allegations in a Regulatory case, is that she also provides advice and legal representation relating to DBS Barring; from Enhanced DBS checks, Minded to Bar, to appeals at the Upper Tribunal. 

Michelle has worked at Thompsons for over 23 years and qualified as a lawyer in 2016. 

 

Her area of legal expertise is quite niche, challenging, fast paced and hugely rewarding.    

 

Michelle’s clients have worked and studied hard for years to be practising in their chosen profession.  To therefore be under investigation and face allegations regarding their fitness to practise can impact their livelihood, future career aspirations and home/family life.   

 

Michelle gets a great deal of satisfaction in being able to assist and support clients during what is an immensely stressful time in their career and life and achieve the best possible outcome for them. 

In her spare time, Michelle loves touring in her van and visiting new places. She enjoys the outdoors and walking with her dogs. She’s also a real foodie and jumps at the chance of a meal out and experiencing different cuisines! 

 

I’m elated with the outcome that the NMC have decided!! I just wanted to say a massive, huge thank you for all that you have done and your continued support through a very difficult time. I obviously could not of achieved this outcome with you. Many thanks Michelle.

I just wanted to send you a quick update on my situation to put a final closure on all the hard work you and the team have done for me and my determination to clear my name. At last, my five-year battle has come to an end and I have achieved the outcome I hoped for. I wanted to thank you again for all the hard work and compassion you gave towards helping me to get to where I am.
