Business Defence

At Oxley & Coward we have a strong record for representing a broad range of businesses from sole traders to SME’s and Limited Companies with significant market share. As part of our service to the business community we provide a range of business defence services to protect you and your business wherever you need it.

Health & Safety – We can offer assistance and representation in connection with investigations and prosecutions by the Health and Safety Executive in respect of workplace accidents and regulatory breaches and we will offer a robust defence on your behalf where the HSE are wrong in fact or law.

We also recognise that a HSE investigation can be damaging to your reputation and so, where appropriate, we work with experts in this area to assist you in addressing issues of non-compliance at the earliest stage in order to minimize the chances of a prosecution being pursued

Environmental Protection – We can offer assistance and representation in relation to issues of pollution and waste disposal, regulatory breaches and abatement notices and we have access to experts in these areas who can provide expert witness evidence to assist in defending your case.
