Here's how we can help
Experienced Legal Team
Our Solicitors and Solicitor Advocates are best placed to advise you of the risks of facing prosecution and the possible impact it may have on your livelihood and your reputation.
Safeguarding Your Interests
We aim to safeguard your interests and protect your reputation in cases where the legislation results in individual officers of the company/organisation and/or the company/organisation being prosecuted for compliance and regulatory breaches.
Problem-Solving
We can assist you in a variety of situations and will always look to problem-solve and negotiate a resolution that best suits your needs.
The right expert legal defence advice from the start.
Our team of experts advises companies, shareholders, directors, charities, and other institutions about the implications of criminal, compliance and regulatory matters and understand the crossover between conflicting priorities between shareholders, investor agreements, the framing of articles of association, restrictive covenants, employee contracts, director’s contracts, allegations of gross misconduct and the views of any relevant regulatory bodies. We regularly instruct expert witnesses to support your case and construct a reliable defence to certain allegations.
Here to help when you need it most.
Each regulatory body has a different set of powers, and we can guide you through the difficult procedures of an interview under caution, the exercise of search warrants and the seizure of evidence to ameliorate your position. Businesses, charities, and other institutions are facing an increasingly complex set of compliance rules that can adversely affect their prospects. Steps must be taken early and in advance to protect the health and reputation of the institution or company, and any affected shareholders, directors, certain key employees and stakeholders.

Frequently Asked Questions
We can help every step of the way.
If you are charged with a Health and Safety offence, you are recommended to seek immediate advice. At Scullion LAW, we have a wealth of experience in dealing with these matters and can ensure your rights and privileges are preserved from the outset. We can represent your interests and interpret Health and Safety legislation for you and negotiate a resolution with the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (“COPFS”) and the Health & Safety Executive (“HSE”).
If your business or organisation is charged with a contravention of Health and Safety legislation or policy and procedures, it is essential that you have the right expert legal defence advice from the beginning.
