The 'well-resourced and knowledgeable' team at Hugh James provides 'top-class client care' to a range of prosecuting entities across a myriad health and safety matters. 'Highly competent' senior associate Justin Davies is key to this work, not only by virtue of his 'niche knowledge of fire safety law' but also his prosecution work for the Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency and local authorities in cases relating to food safety and housing safety. Martin Jones heads up the overarching regulatory offering and is most active from a health and safety perspective on the defence side , adding particular insight as a result of his former work as an HSE solicitor agent.
