Frequently Asked Questions
What does a health & safety lawyer do?
A health & safety lawyer advises and represents individuals or organisations facing regulatory investigations, enforcement actions, or prosecutions under UK health and safety law. At Aldwych Legal, we work with health and safety solicitors who assist with compliance advice, defend against allegations, and guide clients through complex regulatory proceedings involving the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) or local authorities.
When should I seek legal advice after a workplace incident?
Can directors or managers be personally liable for health and safety breaches?
Yes. Under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, directors, managers, or officers may be personally prosecuted if an offence occurs with their consent, connivance, or neglect. We work with health and safety solicitors who provide expert representation to protect individuals from personal liability and ensure proper compliance structures are in place.

The health & safety solicitors we work with guide clients through every stage of HSE investigations — from initial notices and interviews under caution to evidence disclosure and enforcement decisions.

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.
