and represents clients at inquest, interview and in court. He

prosecutions. A former prosecutor, he helps clients with procedures
to avoid accidents and speaks to various professional bodies on

prosecutions lawyer", he also deals with product liability, food
hygiene, consumer protection, trading standards, transport and
environmental cases.
