Health & safety
Our health and safety law experts operate across all three UK legal jurisdictions and Australia, working with you to develop proactive compliance strategies , as well as helping you respond to incidents.
Our leading Health and Safety & Regulatory Risk Advisory team (top ranked by the UK legal directories) operates across all UK jurisdictions (England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland), and Australia with clients drawn from all sectors. Our expertise covers health and safety, building and fire safety, environmental crime, trading and food safety law, licensing and transport law.
Utilising unrivalled experience advising clients in high hazard industries we have created and refined tried and trusted measures to give clients from all sectors the best chance of ensuring that adverse incidents are avoided. Should the worst happen, however, our team of specialists will ensure that the best possible outcome is secured from providing support and advice in the immediate aftermath of an incident, and with any investigation and enforcement action, inquest, fatal accident inquiry or prosecution that may follow. We are lawyers and business advisors who give strategic, commercial and pragmatic advice.
We have developed a valuable insight into the HSE and Safe Work Australia's enforcement priorities, their sector strategies and the importance of a positive health and safety culture within an organisation. This understanding feeds into the range of advisory services that we offer to clients to upskill their internal teams, enhance their standards of compliance, and explore the regulatory strengths and weaknesses of the business.
