Regulatory & Compliance

Harrison Drury has a specialist team of regulatory solicitors who deliver expert advice to both businesses and individuals.  In today’s highly regulated society, it has never been more important for businesses to have the right systems and procedures in place to ensure they are compliant with the legislation which regulates their industry. 

It is easy to fall foul of compliance and sometimes a business or its directors can find themselves in need of timely, specialist and expert legal advice if investigations or prosecutions are brought by regulating bodies. Investigations and Court proceedings brought by statutory bodies, local authorities and professional regulators, have the potential to severely damage businesses and individuals, both financially, and in terms of their general reputation. Proceedings brought for health and safety breaches, planning offences, trading standards offences, food hygiene breaches and other offences, can result in serious criminal sanctions on both businesses and individuals. Additionally, healthcare proceedings brought by professional bodies against individuals can severely curtail or remove the ability to continue practising in their chosen field with obvious financial and reputational damage as a consequence. 

Harrison Drury makes it possible for businesses and individuals to mitigate risk, avoid prosecution and reduce financial exposure from regulatory investigation and prosecution. We also make it possible for businesses and individuals to reduce or remove the reputational damage caused by regulatory investigation and prosecution. Our expertise includes defending businesses and individuals from investigation and prosecution by a wide range of organisations, including statutory bodies, local authorities and professional bodies.

I would not hesitate to recommend David and Harrison Drury to anyone.

We were advised to use Harrison Drury Solicitors in relation to Court proceedings that were brought against us. From day 1, they were absolutely brilliant, they sorted everything out, and kept us informed daily. I think they went above and beyond – my wife was very worried about things, but whenever she spoke to David Edwards, he made her feel much calmer – the professionalism was second to none. If it was not for David and for his team, we would not have got the case result that we did, and which we are delighted with and relieved about.  I would not hesitate to recommend David and Harrison Drury to anyone.
