Health & Safety and Environmental

The Best Outcome Starts Here

Health, safety and environmental safety are of crucial importance for businesses of all types – and these issues are a key priority from both a legal and ethical standpoint. A positive approach to compliance management can help to reduce the risk of breaches of regulations in order to avoid prosecution. We can assist by providing compliance advice.

If you have concerns about health and safety or the environment in your business, or you are facing investigation or prosecution, our solicitors are on hand to provide advice and support. You can get in touch by calling us on 0161 827 9500, or by filling in our contact form.

Health & safety and environmental services

Should you face investigation or prosecution from a regulatory body such as the Health & Safety Executive (HSE), the Environmental Agency or a local authority, you could be facing a substantial fine with the possibility of a custodial sentence. A prosecution may also impact on the reputation of, and any future business for, the company.

We provide expert and pragmatic advice tailored to meet your needs, and can help by providing advice in relation to:

  • Internal investigations
  • Attending hearings
  • Dealing with regulators
  • Attending interviews under caution
  • Advising on enforcement notices
  • Representation at Coroners’ inquests
  • Hearing in Magistrates’ and Crown Courts
