CUT THROUGH THE RED TAPE WITH SANDERSONS SOLICITORS

“Firefighters have been advised to stop using stepladders for health and safety reasons.  The use of stepladders contravenes working at height regulations when used to fit domestic smoke alarms.”

This remarkable story recently appeared in the press and was described as “absurd” in the House of Commons.  The Health and Safety Executive have agreed a review is needed.

Anyone trying to run a business will recognise this as a typical example of the petty bureaucracy and red tape which can waste valuable time and resources which should be concentrated on meeting customer requirements profitably. 

The increasing complexity of legislation and regulations means that you rarely have the time to keep up to date with it.

However, if you do encounter problems, you should get realistic practical advice on how to proceed.

Sandersons Solicitors provide a comprehensive range of commercial legal services, all designed to help you run your business successfully.  A good commercial lawyer should be able to give sound practical business advice as well as being able to point out the relevant legal requirements.

So, if you need to plot a way through the bureaucratic minefield, whether it is a taxation, employment, commercial, property or licensing issue, get in touch with Sandersons and you can be sure of a positive response.
