Employees in all sectors can find themselves the subject of criminal investigations and prosecutions in relation to allegations that arise in the workplace. It goes without saying that in some circumstances one's liberty will be at risk. Such cases can also place a person's job at risk even if they are not convicted of any offence. In many occupations which are now regulated or licensed for example care workers, taxi drivers and security staff, even if a person is not convicted but accepts a caution as a means of disposal, their Licence or registration may be revoked.

Should a member be arrested by Police in connection with such a matter, we are able to provide expert representation by solicitors who specialise in employment related criminal defence.

Sometimes, the Police may not actually turn up to arrest a person in these circumstances but ask that they attend at the Police Station to answer questions. Very often, that person is arrested on arrival at the Police Station. On other occasions they would still be interviewed in the same manner by Police as if they were under arrest. Their rights would still be as much at risk. Equally the same level of expert representation would be desirable.

It is unadvisable for any member to ever agree to be interviewed without having a solicitor present.

GMB London and Andrews Angel Solicitors provide a twenty four hour emergency line for members to call if arrested or contacted by Police or other investigators wishing to interview them in connection with an alleged criminal offence in the work place. Expert representation can then be provided.

Should members receive summonses to attend court on a matter or have already been charged with an offence, this line can also be contacted to arrange Court representation.
