Health & Safety Lawyers For Business

Our health and safety lawyers provide support to corporate clients on a wide range of matters.

How We Can Help

Prevention

We advise on compliance with health and safety regulations and provide training for corporate clients.

Our advisory work includes:

  • Advice on compliance with the complex regulatory framework for health and safety
  • Expert advice in relation to supply chain contracts
  • Ensuring appropriate risk management procedures are in place in any transaction
  • Training for corporate clients on risk management, health and safety law updates, RIDDOR and directors’ duties

Investigations and Prosecutions

Some of the key areas we can help are:

  • Conducting a privileged early case assessment of the potential liabilities
  • Corporate manslaughter investigations, prosecutions and gross negligence investigations in the case of fatal accidents
  • Providing advice in relation to investigations into asbestos, working at height or other serious workplace injuries
  • Representing directors, managers and staff at interview under caution
