Regulatory Law
Blackhurst Budd LLP has significant experience in representing individuals and regulatory bodies from a number of regulated sectors, including Benefits Regulations, Health & Safety, Health & Hygiene, Fire Safety and Environmental Health, to name but a few.
Individuals
If you have been investigated for negligence, misconduct, or breach of legislative regulations, it can be an extremely distressing experience, and potentially devastating for your business. Blackhurst Budd LLP can provide specialised legal advice in these areas, both in the event of a prosecution, or as a result of Enforcement Proceedings. Proceedings taken by regulatory bodies may impact significantly on the status of a business or employer, and we are also able to advise on the Employment Law aspects of regulatory proceedings.
Regulator
We have had a dedicated team representing the DWP for nearly twenty years in prosecutions for all ranges of Benefit Fraud. We also represent Fylde Borough Council in respect of Benefit Fraud cases. We prosecute on behalf of the FSA (Financial Services Authority), and the Department for Business Innovation and Skills (DBIS). We have specialist knowledge and experience in respect of Fire Safety Legislation, and now prosecute for three major Fire Authorities in the North West, namely Lancashire, Greater Manchester, and Merseyside.
