Health, Safety and Environment (HS&E) Solicitors

Health, safety and environmental issues are of paramount importance for the success of any business. As fines for non-compliance rise and reputation for safety and environmental management increasingly influence both customer and business partner choice, a proactive approach to health and safety and environmental management and compliance is needed.

Pannone has a dedicated Health, Safety & Environment (HS&E) Team of solicitors that specialises in all aspects of safety and environmental compliance, enforcement and litigation. As part of the thirty strong Regulatory Team, we provide commercial, straight forward and practical advice to help our clients minimise risk relating to health safety and environment and gain commercial advantage. Our team has experience of advising and representing clients on health and safety, environmental, food safety, product safety and transport safety issues.

Complete Incident Management

We offer clients a complete incident management process that saves costs and puts you in control after a workplace accident by using our powerful blend of expertise, service innovation and risk reducing training. Our unique approach ensures our clients receive the support they need to manage all aspects of workplace safety efficiently including incident response, regulator investigations and prosecutions, personal injury claims, and transactional advice. With an expert team comprising health and safety solicitors, environmental lawyers, and personal injury solicitors, we will provide a co-ordinated and comprehensive approach to secure the best possible outcome for you and your business in health, safety and environmental issues. In conjunction with carefully selected external consultants, our clients also receive guidance on safety compliance, policies and risk assessments.

Recognising that safety and environment is a key business requirement, we practice what we preach. We are currently implementing an Integrated Environmental Management System ( ISO 14001) into our Manchester Office. In March 2008, we were once again voted in the top 10 of The Sunday Times 100 Best Companies survey, for the fifth year in a row and are the only law firm to receive such an accolade.
