Regulatory and Public Law
As regulation and red tape grow year-on-year in today’s society and the scope of regulation is constantly increasing, we are able to provide expert advice to individuals and businesses in relation to a wide range of regulatory and public law matters.
In the UK alone, there are over 300 regulators, including organisations such as Trading Standards, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and the Environment Agency, whose rules, and regulations you and your business should comply with. Failure to do so can result in your company facing criminal investigations as well as financial penalties, but we are here to help.
Organisations also need to ensure compliance with regulations when undertaking their business and dealing with the processing of information.
Public law applies to decisions taken by public bodies including government departments, local authorities and most regulatory bodies exercising public functions. It can be distinguished from private law which governs relationships between individuals and private companies.
Regulatory and public law affects most of us in our everyday lives as individuals and organisations.
