Regulatory defence

Our specialist team represents businesses and individuals facing prosecution by the Health and Safety Executive, Environmental Health, Trading Standards, Department for Business, Enterprise & Regulatory Reform or any other regulatory authority.

If you are facing investigation or prosecution for a regulatory offence, we provide advice from the outset so you fully understand what the process involves. In some instances our early intervention can stop an investigation from progressing to a prosecution before the courts. The prosecuting authority may ask you attend a formal interview, under caution. It is important to understand whether you should attend the interview and we can advise you on this. Should you decide to be interviewed we can accompany you and provide legal representation throughout the interview – in order to protect and advance your legal rights – as well as representing you at Court if the case goes that far.

Our Regulatory Team can assist from both our Norwich and Ipswich offices, allowing us to provide our services to clients across Norfolk, Suffolk, and North Essex.
