Regulatory

We have years of experience of defending.

 

With the increasing burden of regulation to business, has come the increasing instances of investigation and prosecution of businesses and their directors and officers.  Our solicitors in York and Preston work closely with companies to ensure that the responses to incidents and accidents are managed scrupulously, to ensure that your biggest assets, your employees and your reputation, are protected.  Early instruction of a lawyer in these cases can mean the difference between not facing a prosecution and a finding of guilt, significant fines, and even prison.  Whether it is the HSE, a Local Authority, or another statutory body, our lawyers can give you all of the advice and representation you will need.  We deal with your insurer, in most cases, so that you do not have to pay the costs of your representation.

 

 

Road Traffic Offences

How would you manage without your driving licence ?

 

Whether it is a fixed penalty notice for speeding, or causing death by dangerous driving, we know how distraught people can become when facing the prospect of having points on their licence, losing their livelihoods, or facing prison sentences.

The most frequent contact most people will have with the Criminal Justice System is through road traffic proceedings.  Our road traffic offence solicitors can help you if you have a car insurance with a Motor Prosecution Defence policy, as we exclusively provide cover for the biggest insurance aggregator in the country, helping their 3 million-plus clients, as well as working with other insurers and privately-funded clients.

Crime - "The most terrifying 24 hours of my life"

 

Most people's worst nightmare is speaking in public, but imagine a scenario of your dreams being shattered by the smashing-in of your front door, and being arrested and taken to a police station for a serious offence.  A false allegation made by an unbalanced ex-partner or work colleague; an accounting oversight leading to an allegation from an employer.  Everybody thinks that it can never happen to them.

The court proceedings that can follow can lead to huge damage to a person's reputation, as well as causing massive stress at home, as the accused looks at losing their job, home, relationship, and possibly liberty.

We can help you 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year, at any police station in England & Wales, and in proceedings before the magistrates courts, crown courts, and Supreme Court.
