rradar
With solicitor advocate and legal director Alastair Gray (Glasgow) at the helm, rradar is well placed to assist companies with regulatory investigations and prosecutions, such as those involving road traffic offences, in addition to fatal accident inquiries. Associate Robbie Cole is another key member of the team, and a regular fixture on HSE, EHO and Scottish Government Rural Payments and Inspections Directorate (SGRPID) investigations. Much of the team’s recent work stems from the manufacturing, housing and construction sectors.
