Our lawyers appreciate that Health and Safety is of paramount importance to companies and that the implications of a health and safety failing can be devastating. We represent employees, managers and directors who may be faced with an investigation or enforcement action. Often, such investigations are the result of an incident or an injury.

We are specialists in fire safety law, from prohibition and enforcement notices through to dealing with prosecutions. We can assist during investigations, particularly if you are faced with an interview under caution.
