Regulatory

All businesses are bound by regulatory checks and enforcement. But dealing with regulations can be a real concern for hard pressed businesses, especially where non-compliance could result in enforcement including prosecution.

We work with individuals, organisations and large and small businesses from across the UK to advise on current regulatory requirements and to fight their corner when things go wrong. We are also engaged at a higher level to represent businesses on policy and decision making.

In the environmental sphere we work with a variety of clients including utility companies, waste operators and quarrying companies.  In taxi licensing we act for one of the largest private hire operators in the country as well as smaller local operators.  In transport, our clients include national and international haulage companies, large companies that operate their own vehicles and international car hire companies.  In alcohol and premises licensing we provide advice to some of the country’s largest property developers as well as a nationally recognised wine retailer.
