Recent decades have seen a huge increase in health and safety legislation. This is a complex area of law, and it is now more important than ever to take specialist legal advice to minimise the risk to your business. Failure to comply with your statutory duties of care can lead to criminal penalties and high compensation awards.

Should you find yourself subject of an investigation or legal claim, we have experienced advocates who can defend the claim and represent you throughout an investigation.

In particular, we advise on:

• Prosecutions by the Health & Safety Executive / Local Authorities
• Health and safety in the workplace and HR issues
• Representation at public inquests
• Property and occupier’s liability claims
