Understand Your Situation
A workplace accident is a tragedy, but it shouldn't necessarily be a crime. We defend your safety record and compliance.
Defending HSE Prosecutions
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) prosecutes aggressively after workplace injuries. Companies face unlimited fines; directors face prison. The burden is on you to prove you did everything 'reasonably practicable' to ensure safety.
We build that proof. We collate risk assessments, training logs, and maintenance records to demonstrate a culture of safety. We challenge the HSE's expert evidence—often showing that the accident was unforeseeable or caused by individual error, not systemic failure.

Plan Your Defence
Interviews Under Caution
HSE inspectors will invite directors for interviews under caution (PACE).
We attend these interviews. We control the flow of information, ensuring you do not admit liability. A well-managed interview can often persuade the HSE to issue an improvement notice rather than prosecute.
Interview Under Caution?
Protect your position. We represent you in the interview.
Legal Aid Availability
For many criminal matters, from police station interviews to Crown Court trials, public funding (Legal Aid) may be available to cover your legal costs.
Eligibility is determined by the seriousness of the case and, in some instances, a means assessment. Our team will conduct an immediate, confidential assessment of your eligibility to ensure that financial constraints do not stand in the way of a robust defence.
