Blake Morgan LLP

Housed within the firm's business regulatory group, which is headed by Claire Rawle , Blake Morgan LLP's diverse health and safety offering encompasses both prosecution and defence work, ensuring that the team has an excellent perspective from both sides of the "v". Rawle is particularly accomplished at handling defence work in the health and social care space, regularly handling standalone cases brought by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) or the police, as well as supporting the firm's strong public inquiries offering. In addition, the firm continues to grow its offering in relation to product liability advice and food safety-related work, regularly acting for food manufacturers and consumer/electrical product manufacturers in relation to product recalls and civil litigation. Senior associate and barrister Tom Walker has been responsible for developing the aforementioned aspect of the practice, although his primary focus remains on handling prosecution work, including for the HSE. Consultant Robin Havard is vastly experienced across both the defence and prosecution front; he continues to be retained to assist the HSE, often  in liaison with the CPS, relating to corporate and gross negligence manslaughter investigations.
