Regulation & Compliance

Industry & Professional Regulators

Your business may be regulated by industry regulators, like the Scottish Environment Protection Agency or the Health and Safety Executive. Alternatively, you may be regulated by a professional body, or you may be a regulator yourself. We will guide you through any regulatory questions which may arise. We have a wealth of experience in advising regulators and the regulated which means that we will provide clear advice on law and policy so that the right decisions are made.

Data Protection

Data protection is a complex and growing area. We will help you understand your legal obligations in relation to information you hold about your employees and others. We will also assist you in drafting data protection policies and in making sure that your contracts deal correctly with any proposed disclosure of protected information.

Freedom of Information

Whether you are a public or a private body, we will help you understand the freedom of information laws. We'll advise on particular cases and on the circumstances where disclosure may not be permitted. We'll also provide assistance in the drafting of disclosure policies and procedures.

Health & Safety

We’ll advise you on Health and Safety issues within your business and can help you to identify and cost the risks you and your organisation face in dealing with the regulatory framework. We are also skilled in defending clients in health and safety prosecutions.

Policy Advice & Training

We’ve been advising public sector bodies for many years and have advised many private sector clients on their dealings with public authorities. We will give you legal advice on your policies and procedures and help you avoid legal challenge. We can also provide legal risk assessments on any aspect of your business and help you make any necessary changes.
