Health & Safety
Health and Safety rules are a challenge for any business. There is a trend towards higher fines and calls for more personal accountability for directors and managers. In this climate businesses cannot afford the financial, reputational and human consequences of a workplace accident and subsequent prosecution. Our Health and Safety professionals can advise on compliance and help you keep up to date with new requirements. If the worst happens we will deal strategically with enforcement action by the Health & Safety Executive (HSE), advising on handling the investigation process, formal interviews under caution and representing you in court.

Our Health & Safety Lawyers
Our specialists are members of the teams serving particular client groups, including Property, Environmental, Insurance & Personal Injury, Corporate Finance, and Healthcare. There is considerable cross-fertilisation and we can field an instant response to managing an incident and the subsequent investigation.
We recognise much common ground in the processes and skills involved in dealing with regulators such as the HSE, whether this is in a factory, agricultural or healthcare environment.
As we recognise advice on regulatory law such as health, safety & environmental legislation as a key client need, we support our clients with free legal updates, newsletters and seminars. Andrew Clarke, Marita Jones and John Sheath are all members of the Health & Safety Lawyers' Association.
