Quentin is sought for his experience in this extremely technical area of the law, he lectures on these regulations to the HSE and is uniquely placed to advise upon the many subtleties and loopholes present in the legislation. 

He has recently successfully acted in R v KS and others, a jury trial in which an individual company director was prosecuted under the CDM following the death of a construction worker due to the collapse of an excavation on a building site.
