Chris Green

Chris delivers practical and workable commercial solutions to companies, public sector authorities and individuals who become embroiled in the criminal justice system (usually, for the first time). He guides his employer clients through the regulatory investigation process following serious and fatal accidents in work and public places, on road or rail.

His corporate clients come from all types of business sectors including fire and rescue, rail, food, manufacturing, public bodies and construction companies. He advises directors and senior officers when they are investigated personally after such accidents occur. He specialises exclusively in the defence of investigations brought by the Health and Safety Executive, Police, Office of the Rail Regulator, Local Authorities and the Environment Agency and has particular experience in rail construction, falling trees, explosion and fire fighter manslaughter cases. He prosecutes offences under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and started his career as a prosecutor of regulatory and trading standards offences. He gets involved as soon as accidents occur and assists clients to investigate incidents, attend interviews under caution, arrest and custody, and presents their cases in criminal and coroners courts.
