Leading Criminal Barrister in Trading Standards

Trading standards prosecutions are serious and can result in custodial sentences. Due to the complex and specialist nature of the law and those that enforce it, it is essential to get expert legal advice from someone who will defend you and your business.

Michael has experience in being instructed to advise in relation to consumer protection and trading standards.

Prosecutions are usually brought by the Local Authority Trading Standards Department but are also brought by the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) and the Food standards Agency.

Cases often include:

• Counterfeit goods
• High-pressure selling
• Product safety
• Mis-selling
• Advertising
• Product labeling
• Weights and Measures
• Under age sales

Michael can provide you with advice and assistance at every stage of the proceedings.
