Our dedicated Health & Safety Team specialise in all aspects of health & safety law, from avoiding incidents in the first place to accident investigation, enforcement action and defence of criminal prosecutions.

A number of high profile incidents and subsequent changes in legislation have resulted in a renewed focus on health & safety law and an increase in the number of investigations and prosecutions across the UK. These developments and the creation of a specialist team of health & safety prosecutors in Scotland mean that it is more important than ever to engage the services of an experienced health & safety practitioner from the outset.

We can help. 

• We can advise on current legislation and the areas of particular importance to you 
• We can work with you to devise training on corporate health & safety compliance for all industry sectors, including bespoke training at director level  
• Where an incident has occurred our specialists are there to ensure the best possible prospects of an early resolution or running a successful defence.

We have considerable experience of both health & safety enforcement action and prosecutions across a range of industries including the construction, oil and gas and renewable sectors. We are able to call on expertise across the firm to assist with engineering, construction, energy and environmental issues. We have a well established track record of representing clients in investigations and prosecutions.

Our health & safety experience also includes inquiry work.
