Workplace Incident Defence

Our experience in regulatory law enables us to provide a comprehensive service, including advice following a Notification of a Complaint, the subsequent response, and representation during formal interviews, as well as related disciplinary and/or criminal proceedings.

We will liaise with the regulatory body throughout the disciplinary process, from responding to the Regulator’s findings to preparing for any substantive disciplinary hearing (FTP). We can also advise on appeals and judicial reviews against Court and tribunal findings.

At Harold & McCormack Law, we specialise in providing comprehensive legal advice to ensure all corners of compliance for your business and its people are covered. With decades of experience managing regulatory issues, we are here to help you prevent breaches, avoid severe penalties and protect your interests.
