Key contact
Heath Thomas
Partner, Head of Insurance, Risk and Regulatory and Thames Valley Office
I head one of the largest teams of specialist regulatory lawyers, known for our expertise in safety law, food regulation, environmental law, licensing and private criminal defence. We advise and represent companies, their directors, and individuals, facing compliance challenges, investigation and prosecution
Expert support in a crisis
We have a proven track record of defending challenges from regulators including the Environment Agency, Food Standards Agency, Health and Safety Executive, Financial Conduct Authority, Environmental Health Officers, Fire and Rescue Services and Trading Standards.
Alongside this, our team deals with the full gamut of insurance issues, from helping you mitigate risk and manage incidents to resolving liability claims.
We also regularly undertake private criminal defence in the Magistrates and Crown Courts, including representation in interview under caution.
We understand the associated challenges and demands of these types of situation, and provide practical and focused advice, day or night. We’ll also help you with media management to limit reputational damage and help you keep trading even when your livelihood is at risk.
A practical focus on compliance
Our team of lawyers has unique skillsets, having previously worked in enforcement, compliance, risk and insurance industries before coming together to form our Insurance, Risk and Regulatory team.
We are acutely aware of concept of ‘predictable surprises’ and help you develop a compliance culture that recognises the costs of prevention are far lower than the costs of the aftermath of an incident.
We really get to know you and understand the challenges you face so we can find sensible commercial solutions to help you operate, whatever your circumstances. Our practical and focussed advice gives you authentic insight, increased competency and improved standards. Combined with our ability to react rapidly and decisively, it makes us the team you need in your corner.
