Trading Standards Offences
We advise in relation to all manner of Trading Standards and Fair Trading offences. We will attend at interviews under caution at Trading Standards offices throughout the country. If a prosecution arises we will take full instructions and advise in relation to all evidence provided by the prosecuting authority, enter into the appropriate correspondence with them and the Court and act for the individual in relation to putting forward a defence in the Magistrates Court or entering a plea and mitigation where guilt is admitted.
Such actions can include the sale of tobacco, alcohol or other age-related products to minors, either by the individual or by one of their employees. We can advise in relation to how to attempt to avoid future prosecutions or to avoid prosecutions at all by using our vast experience to provide information in relation to the things Trading Standards officers will be looking for at the time of "test" purchases or otherwise.
