Regulatory requirements…

Regulation of business and industry is intended to protect consumers, employees and the environment. Businesses, regardless of size and complexity, must comply with legislation and regulation which come from all levels of government.

The law can be complex with traps for the unwary. Failure to comply can result in significant fines and adverse publicity that can put a business at risk. Directors and managers can face personal liability that can result in disqualification, fines and in some cases custodial sentences.

Significant costs will be incurred during lengthy investigations by the police and regulators. Prohibition and improvement notices can prevent a business operating effectively.

The Regulatory team has a wealth of experience representing organisations and individuals investigated and prosecuted for regulatory offences. In times of crisis we are able to guide you and your staff through it with calm authority, assured handling of the prosecution authorities and clear, effective advice.
