Trading Standards investigations can cover a wide range of allegations, and our team has significant experience in dealing with the defence of both businesses and individuals under such investigation.
Examples include:
- Animal welfare;
- Consumer rights;
- Fair trading;
- Food safety and labelling;
- Mis-selling of products and services;
- Sales practices;
- Supply of age restricted products;
- Trademark and copyright offences;
- Trade dispute offences.
Consequences for breaches of the legislation can be devastating in terms of penalties, consumer confidence in your business, and for the reputation of you, the organisation and key staff within it.
From formal cautions to fines and imprisonment, the risk to you and your organisation means that the best possible advice is needed from the outset to protect your interests.
