Health and fire safety

Our national team of specialist advisors and trial advocates advise on a wide range of Health and Safety and Fire Safety issues. We defend businesses and individuals that are being investigated by or facing enforcement action from regulators including:

• The Health and Safety Executive
• The Environment Agency
• Local authorities
• Fire and Rescue Services

Whether it’s representing an individual director at a PACE interview or defending a large corporate client at a criminal trial in the Crown Court, we’ve got the right experience and expertise for the job.

We can also provide bespoke training on safety, health and specific risk issues including:

• Fire safety
• Directors' responsibility for health and safety
• Corporate manslaughter

In the wake of the pandemic, Health and Safety issues have become an even bigger priority for corporate organisations. They’re also now more likely to come under fire from external agencies, employees, customers and other stakeholders. Our advice can help you stay compliant and resolve complex issues with the best possible outcome.
