Experts In Trading Standards Law

You may be currently facing potential investigation, a court summons or a  prosecution. Alternatively, you may be a business owner wanting to assess your risk of investigation.

Whatever your circumstances, Irwin Mitchell’s trading standards experts can help. We have in-depth experience acting for clients who have been involved in investigations and prosecutions brought by:

  • Office of Fair Trading
  • Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Authority
  • Local Authority Trading Standards Departments
  • Foods Standards Agency

We can also help you to keep up to date with changes in trading standards law, helping you to stay compliant.

When you’re being investigated, we can offer specialist advice and representation from lawyers highly experienced in disciplinary investigations and tribunal hearings.

Our solicitors are adept at protecting the interests of clients under investigation in trading standards cases. We’re recognised leaders in our field.

From the outset, we’ll liaise with investigating bodies to act as an effective professional barrier between them and you. We’ll support you throughout, providing constructive, timely advice, available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Where interviews are necessary, we’ll prepare you in advance to deal with any allegations. If appropriate, we will make written representations on your behalf.

Irwin Mitchell can also protect your personal or corporate reputation from unwanted attention by the press and broadcast media.
