Business Protection
According to the Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform, over a third of SME's find health and safety and regulatory compliance to be the most time consuming and costly regulation area within their business.
Certainly, since the introduction of the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007, and the Health and Safety (Offences) Act 2008, the penalties and risks of non-compliance are now significantly higher, both for businesses and their directors. It is specifically for that reason that we have formed our bespoke and specialised Business Protection Team.
Whatever the nature of the investigation we will always use our resources and experience to ensure we secure the best possible outcome for you and your business.
Our team
Our Business Protection Team has experts with some of the longest and broadest experience in the North East. The team is led by Jonathan Dunkley, who has over 30 years' experience over a full range of regulatory matters. We can provide the specialist advice and representation to ensure you and your business interests are fully protected.
Our team has an outstanding record and a proactive approach. We will work with you to ensure we fully understand your business and your objectives. You will receive a fully integrated service that brings together skills and expertise from across the whole firm.
To maximise the prospect of avoiding the formal court process we understand that we must explore all alternative methods of settling disputes or regulatory proceedings. We are experienced in the implementation of all private prosecution guidelines and we have achieved considerable success in persuading Regulatory Authorities to consider alternatives to formal court proceedings with significant benefits in terms of costs and the avoidance of adverse publicity.
