Scope of service

Each matter is assessed according to its facts, documents, applicable legislation, procedural deadlines, and practical objective. The available advisory, administrative, negotiation, mediation, litigation, or enforcement routes are considered together.

• civil and criminal processes arising from workplace accidents
• occupational-disease disputes
• employer compliance with occupational health and safety duties
• administrative fines and regulatory compliance
• environmental permits, licences, and administrative disputes
• environmental liability and compensation claims

The first review identifies urgent deadlines, evidence needs, available applications, and possible dispute-resolution routes. Where a formal process is required, the legal strategy is prepared with the complete sequence of the matter in mind.
