We can help by:
- Advising on regulatory compliance issues
- Undertaking legal ‘health checks’ to identify areas of concern and prioritise risk
- Reviewing and drafting policies and procedures
- Providing strategic advice during a criminal investigation
- Attending interviews under caution (PACE interviews) with you
