Trading Standards Inspections and Investigations
Trading standards interventions can have a dramatic effect on businesses. Beyond fines, imprisonment and court appearances, officers may "raid" offices and directors' homes, seizing documents and ICT equipment. Investigations can also damage consumer confidence and commercial reputations.
Early expert legal advice can make all the difference. It is important to make sure that you are sufficiently resilient against the effects of a "raid" or other enforcement action.
It’s always a good idea to get a second opinion, as you never know when Trading Standards Officers will call!
