Trading Standards

We represent individuals, partnerships and limited companies against alleged breaches of trading standards brought by local authorities and other prosecuting authorities such as the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills.

Due to the complex nature of trading standards legislation, businesses and individuals may find themselves inadvertently facing prosecution and disciplinary measures.  Chambers will provide swift, effective advice  at  the  earliest  stages of any investigation, in relation to:

• Consumer credit
• Consumer protection
• Counterfeit goods
• Food safety
• Product safety
• Trade description matters

Chambers defends in related restraint and confiscation proceedings.
