Trading Standards Prosecutions: Nelson & Burnley


We have found over the years that a very robust attitude has to be taken when dealing with trading standard prosecutions. If you are informed that you are facing a prosecution from this local authority regulatory body then we can assist you with your case from the outset.

We have found that at times trading standards want you to believe what they are saying is true, without the evidence backing up their case. We have found that these weak and speculative cases if investigated by us at the earliest opportunity can fail.

In cases where you face strong evidence we will advise you of the implications for you and the likely punishments. In these cases we would always try to negotiate a compromised deal, with trading standards.

We understand that these prosecutions can be lengthy and complex and require intervention by our defence team at the earliest opportunity.
