You might be a company director, a site manager, a financial adviser or a sole trader. If something’s gone wrong, the investigation is personal. So are the consequences. One bad decision, one accident, or even just being in the wrong place at the wrong time can be enough to trigger a formal investigation.
That might mean a regulatory interview, a criminal allegation or the threat of prosecution. We’re here to help you deal with it calmly, clearly and with the right plan from day one.
You’ll work with senior lawyers who represent individuals facing criminal or regulatory investigations linked to their work. That could mean health and safety breaches, environmental claims or allegations of fraud, dishonesty or misconduct. It might involve professional regulators or the fallout from a serious incident at work.
Whatever the situation, we’ll help you understand what’s happening, protect your position and make smart decisions about what comes next. No panic. Just practical support that helps you take control.
How we work:
If you’re facing regulatory or business crime allegations, the earlier you get advice, the better your options.
- We’ll start with a proper conversation. No judgement. Just straight questions and honest advice. What’s happened? Who’s involved? What have you been told?
- Once we understand the facts, we’ll build a strategy that protects you – legally and personally.
- You’ll work with a senior lawyer from day one. Someone who knows how regulators think, what they look for, and how to push back when they overreach.
- We’ll keep things calm. We’ll keep you informed. And we’ll give you clear steps to follow – whether that’s staying out of court or preparing for what’s ahead.
Areas we cover:
- Health & safety – including workplace injuries, fatal accidents and site inspections
- Regulatory interviews – HSE, FCA, DVSA, SRA, Trading Standards to name a few
- Fraud, theft and dishonesty – linked to business or professional roles
- Director liability – including Companies Act and insolvency offences
- Environmental & fire safety – waste, pollution, enforcement notices,
