Criminal Defence for Business

As soon as your business gets a call, or a letter lands on your desk, notifying you of a possible investigation or prosecution, it is vital to be proactive and contact a specialist criminal defence lawyer for help and guidance from the very outset.

The more prepared you are and the sooner you begin, the better and this is where we can help – gathering evidence, attending an interview under caution, providing written statements and representing you at court if necessary.

At what can be a very worrying time, especially as prosecutions can result in large fines and sometimes even imprisonment, a criminal defence lawyer can guide you through often complicated legal proceedings to ensure minimum disruption to your company and give you the best possible chance of a successful outcome.

Partner Michael Gupwell and Solicitor Maxine Twynam specialise in the following areas:

  • Food Safety, Hygiene and Labelling offences
  • Trading Standards prosecutions
  • Council prosecutions
  • Environmental offences
  • Health and Safety offences
  • Driving and Road Traffic offences – see separate section

"Michael Gupwell was exceptionally knowledgeable and professional throughout the case. I can only thank you all for the effort you put into the case and undoubtedly would not hesitate to recommend Michael and your practice to others."
