Regulatory & Corporate Defence
At Flint Bishop, our Regulatory Defence Solicitors advise clients facing investigation or prosecution by regulatory authorities. We support matters involving health and safety, corporate manslaughter, CQC investigations, Trading Standards, Environment Agency investigations, ICO investigations, National Minimum Wage investigations, competition law, coroners’ inquests and deferred prosecution agreements.
We understand that regulatory matters often move quickly and can place immediate pressure on your business, senior people and reputation. Our Regulatory Defence Solicitors will explain the process in plain English, help you prepare for interviews or enquiries, assess the risks and make sure your response is handled with care from the outset. Where possible, we will work to reduce the risk of prosecution. Where proceedings cannot be avoided, we will guide you through the next steps with clear, practical advice.
With teams of Regulatory Defence Solicitors in Birmingham, Derby, Leeds, Sheffield, Swansea and York, Flint Bishop supports clients across England and Wales. Our team has experience defending businesses and senior people in serious regulatory and corporate defence cases, bringing calm judgement and focused representation when the stakes are high.
Whether you have been contacted by a regulator, received an enforcement notice, or need urgent advice before an interview under caution, our Regulatory Defence Solicitors will act quickly and explain your options clearly. Contact Flint Bishop today to understand the next step.
Regulatory & Corporate Defence
Your first contact with regards to being investigated may be a letter from the relevant authority (for example the Environment Agency, Trading Standards etc.) inviting you to attend a meeting or an interview under caution. If you receive such a letter it is vital that you contact an expert solicitor to assist you as what you say during that interview may significantly effect the investigation and its outcome.
At Flint Bishop we will liaise with the relevant authority prior to the interview to obtain as much detail as possible about the alleged offences so that we can discuss this with you prior to the interview and ensure that you are fully prepared.
By having us as your legal representative you get the benefit of solicitors who understand what is involved in investigations and unlike many firms, are fully conversant with Police Station procedure.
Regulatory & Corporate Defence
Enforcement action can be used by regulatory authorities (such as the Environment Agency or Trading Standards) under which they can serve you and your business with a Notice setting out the failures that are under investigation and the requirements that must be satisfied to reach the minimum standard for compliance. If the Enforcement Notice is not followed then you can be prosecuted for a further criminal offence.
If you receive an Enforcement Notice then you should seek immediate expert advice and contact our solicitors on the numbers below.
