environmental and welfare prosecutions

In an increasingly regulated world, farmers can unwittingly find themselves on the wrong side of the law very easily.

Our specialist criminal prosecution solicitors are experienced in all aspects of farming related prosecutions. We have experience in defending clients against:

  • Environmental prosecutions
  • Prosecutions for breach of animal movement regulations including cattle passports
  • Animal transport and welfare prosecutions
  • Non-registration of livestock
  • Health and safety issues

We have been involved in a number of high profile cases, including a Crown Court matter in which we successfully defended farmers in relation to animal passport irregularities.
