As business defence solicitors we take a forensic approach to our work. We always attempt to establish how trading standards claim to be able to prove the various elements of each given offence. Too frequently our Trading standards defence solicitors come across prosecuting bodies who simply jump to conclusions and ask the court or the tribunal to accept their word on matters for which they have no supporting evidence. As Trading Standards Defence solicitors it is our job to make sure that these sorts of flimsy and speculative prosecutions fail at the earliest opportunity.
Nevertheless, where it is apparent that clients face insurmountable trading standards difficulties, we are happy to attempt to reach accommodations or compromises with the prosecutor or the departments concerned. It is often possible to resolve matters to the satisfaction of our clients by entering into discussions and negotiations with a view to avoiding court proceedings, making appropriate restitutions or implementing changes to business practice.
