Main Areas Of Practice
Workplace fatalities
A fatality at work is among the most difficult emergency scenario a business can face; the stakes are high with the risk of criminal charges, large fines and imprisonment. Alongside managing internal and criminal investigations, you will also need to communicate effectively with your stakeholders, regulators and, most importantly, employees. Our Critical Incident team will help guide you through the process.
Environmental incidents
Some businesses due to their nature are more susceptible to environmental incidents, ranging from natural disasters to issues with hazardous waste or noise pollution. Our team of experts are experienced in environmental incident law and can help manage reporting to enforcement authorities including the Environment Agency and Local Environmental Health.
Product recall
When a product fault comes to light our Critical Incident team can help you manage the recall process, take remedial action, manage investigations, handle claims or prosecutions and effectively communicate to your customers and stakeholders to mitigate the risk of reputational damage and financial loss.
Hygiene emergency enforcement notices
If you are running a food manufacturing company, catering business or restaurant then you need to understand the enforcement powers of local authorities when it comes to ensuring the highest standards of hygiene on your premises. Food and hygiene laws are complex, but we work with a number of start-ups and large businesses in the industry to help them remain compliant and defend themselves in the event that they receive an enforcement notice.
Food safety alerts
From food allergy labelling to food contamination, our expert team specialises in UK and EU food law and can advise on the management and communication of food safety alerts including liaising with the Food Standards Agency and other regulatory bodies.
Safeguarding incidents
If you work with vulnerable children or adults, we can help ensure you have processes such as staff training and DBS checks in place to reduce the risk of safeguarding allegations.
