We can help you with any related matters to enforcement action taken by a local authority or the Food Standards Agency against you. We are pragmatic in our service and will assist you by working together with the relevant agency as well as focusing on litigation when necessary. We know the difficulties that food businesses face in a competitive and complicated legal environment and will work with you to achieve the best possible outcome for your case.

Food Standards Solicitors

As a business that provides food for human consumption, there is a lot of legislation you need to comply with. If you are being sanctioned for noncompliance we can help you achieve your goals. We understand the difficulties that arise from your business being closed down due to noncompliance or from an internal investigation.

In addition, we can advise you on the best form of defence via the Magistrates Court regarding an enforcement order. We can also advise and litigate at the High Court if there is an area of legal dispute. If you have had difficulty in getting approval to run your business we can assist in representing your interest.
