Industrials and infrastructure

Our industrial clients include engineering and construction groups, manufacturers, rail and transport operators and contractors, energy and water infrastructure businesses, and operators of licensed autonomous systems in industrial settings. Margaret Halden ran an engineering contractor’s communications through a public inquiry before founding the firm, and the work has stayed at the centre of our practice.

The issues are serious and specific: site accidents and fatalities, safety investigations and prosecutions, service failures that strand thousands of people, licensing decisions, product failures and the long public hearings that follow them. In each the client has to speak while the facts are still being established, under the eye of an investigator who will read every word.
