Firm strengthens regulatory offering with partner hire in Sheffield

Shakespeare Martineau has appointed Kamal Chauhan to lead and build its regulatory practice, enhancing the firm’s dispute resolution capabilities. Chauhan, who joins from Knights, brings nearly 20 years of experience in complex regulatory matters across multiple sectors. ‘I was drawn to Shakespeare Martineau by its reputation, the calibre of its people, and its strategic vision for growth,’ he says.

His expertise spans environmental law, health and safety, financial services regulation, and professional misconduct. He has advised clients across heavy industry, energy, real estate, and healthcare. ‘Regulatory law sits at the intersection of legal, operational, and reputational risk,’ he says. ‘It offers the chance to develop lawyers with a strong commercial edge and a passion for solving real-world problems.’

Tim Speed, partner and head of dispute resolution, welcomes Chauhan’s appointment, stating: ‘Kamal brings a wealth of knowledge and a proven ability to deliver strategic, commercial advice in highly regulated environments.’ Based in Sheffield, Chauhan will work nationally, reinforcing the firm’s full-service approach to regulatory law.
