The common thread between Tree Preservation Order and Conservation Area offences, alleged wilful destruction of habitat and species, forestry and felling licence infringements, health and safety investigations associated with personal injury, is the need to gather effective evidence and present that evidence in strict compliance with the requirements of criminal law.
We have skills in all of the above fields and have a wealth of experience acting both for statutory bodies bringing proceedings and for defendants of any alleged offence.
Not only can we advise on the technical aspects of criminal proceedings but importantly, we also support interpretation and drafting of papers to appear before the Courts, the supporting legislation backing the actions of statutory bodies and the various legal defenses that may be attempted.
We have appeared as expert witnesses before magistrates, crown courts and at special hearings associated with health and safety investigations.
We are able to support fully any legal team involved in managing criminal proceedings.
