I am a public law and regulatory specialist, and act on a range of contentious and advisory work. I act for clients across various sectors including financial services, higher education, local government and health and social care. I regularly act for public bodies, and I advise on decision making, the implementation and application of policy, consultation, and challenges to decisions. I have extensive Judicial Review experience, and I have acted on public law cases in the High Court, Court of Appeal and Supreme Court.
In terms of my higher education experience, I regularly advise on higher education law, with a particular focus on student related issues. I advise on: student complaints and litigation; OIA matters; academic and disciplinary processes; student contracts and consumer law; Equality Act issues; fitness to practise; and the Office for Students’ regulatory framework. I spent 6 months on secondment to the in house legal team at the University of Oxford in 2017/18.
Amy's poise, knowledge of public law and ability to deal with difficult issues make her impressive.
My financial services experience includes advising on: the regulatory landscape; internal decision making and the application of rules and policies; public law challenges to decisions; and claims including in respect of fraud, statutory causes of action for failure to follow FCA rules and mis-selling. I have completed two secondments to the in house legal team at the Financial Services Compensation Scheme: one in 2016/17 and the other in 2019.
I also act on civil disputes for a variety of clients in the County Court and High Court, as well as on complex multi-jurisdiction disputes. My experience includes acting on a whole range of litigation, from the strike out of vexatious claims brought by litigants in person, through to complex cases involving multiple parties and cross-border issues. For example, I worked within a team acting on behalf of 369 local authorities in response to restitution claims brought by a large number of property search companies, and I also worked on a complex recoveries case involving mis-sold Caribbean properties.
Amy Tschobotko knows all the law, has great judgment and is always thinking strategically. She is understated but very effective, inspires confidence in clients and brings the best out of everyone around her.
