Park Square Barristers
Park Square Barristers garners praise for housing ‘a strong team of barristers specialising in business and regulatory crime’. Recent instructions for the team include Simon Clegg successfully prosecuting a farmer who was convicted of health and safety breaches concerning an attack on a couple by cattle with calves while they were walking across a public right of way across a farm in North Yorkshire. In another matter, Robert Stevenson represented the HSE in its prosecution of a goat farm after an employee was fatally injured by a reversing telehandler; the company was convicted of health and safety breaches and received a £180,000 fine.
