Expert Legal Insight for Your Matter

Frequently Asked Questions

Can my business face prosecution in Preston?

Yes; breaches causing serious risk can lead to prosecution in Preston courts. Aldwych Legal’s prosecution defence solicitors assess culpability, mitigate sanctions through evidence‑led defence and advise on sentencing risks and remediation to limit corporate liability.

Can my business face prosecution in Preston?

Can company directors be personally prosecuted?

Directors can face personal charges, including gross negligence manslaughter or regulatory offences, where failures cause death or serious harm. Our corporate manslaughter solicitors provide strategic, senior‑led representation focusing on evidence allocation, intent and board‑level compliance records.

How should I prepare for an interview under caution?

Request legal representation and pause the interview if necessary. Our HSE investigation solicitors coach witnesses, draft statement strategies, and ensure privilege where possible; senior lawyers advise on telling truthfully without admissions that increase enforcement risk.

What practical steps improve compliance for Preston SMEs?

Conduct a proportional risk assessment, implement written policies, and maintain competent training and record‑keeping. Our health and safety compliance lawyers deliver senior‑led audits, action plans and board reporting tailored to Preston businesses to reduce enforcement and insurance exposure.

When is a health and safety barrister necessary?

A barrister is crucial for high‑stakes hearings, complex inquests or jury trials where advocacy and cross‑examination matter. We instruct experienced health and safety barristers early to shape prosecution strategy, evidence presentation and technical expert engagement.

Can enforcement notices be challenged in Preston?

Yes: improvement and prohibition notices can be disputed by appeal or judicial review in local courts. Our regulatory enforcement solicitors prepare grounds, gather technical evidence and present robust legal arguments, prioritising swift suspension where business continuity is at risk.

What evidence is critical in workplace incident investigations?

Contemporaneous records, CCTV, maintenance logs, training records and witness statements are pivotal. Our workplace safety solicitors and health and safety legal advice focus on preserving chain of custody, forensic analysis and expert reports to support defence or compliance remediation.

Should a website visitor seek to ascertain the nature of our establishment, Aldwych Legal, it becomes essential for us to clarify the intricacies of our professional classification. Aldwych Legal is a legal consultancy, not a traditional solicitors’ firm. As an international legal consultancy and legal support organisation, we position ourselves distinctly apart from the conventional categorisation of a regulated solicitors’ practice. It is of paramount importance to transparently disclose that Aldwych Legal’s operational framework and support services remain independent of regulatory supervision by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) and the Bar Standards Board (BSB). Our multidisciplinary team consists of legally trained professionals who operate within the framework of unreserved legal activities permitted under the Legal Services Act 2007. Where a matter requires a reserved legal activity, we collaborate with, and where appropriate introduce clients to, carefully selected external solicitors and barristers from our professional network. These regulated practitioners operate under their own authorisation and regulatory obligations. Aldwych Legal continues to deliver high-calibre legal support, strategic advisory work, and comprehensive case preparation with the same diligence and rigour expected of any premier legal service provider, while maintaining full transparency regarding our regulatory status. For full details of our regulatory status and operating framework, please refer to our Legal Services Act 2007 page and our Terms & Conditions.
