Heath Thomas

Why choose me

I head one of the largest teams of specialist regulatory lawyers, known for our expertise in safety law, food regulation, environmental law, licensing, insurance and risk, and private criminal defence. We advise and represent companies, their directors, and individuals, facing compliance challenges, investigation and prosecution.

I am a general regulatory partner, with a broad practice which includes private criminal defence. I am also well known for my niche expertise in the Hospitality sector, particularly Licensing and the Private Security Industry (SIA). With over 20 years’ experience I’ve worked with a range of businesses and individuals including national and independent hotel, bar, restaurant and nightclub operators, retailers and sports stadiums and taxi/private hire operators and drivers.

I work with you and your business when faced with investigation into non-compliance or prosecution as well as working with regulatory authorities (police, trading standards, environmental health, fire authorities, HSE, SIA, etc.).
