Crime

Our criminal law department are called upon when clients need a bold and innovative strategy in response to a police investigation or criminal prosecution. Over the years, our team of criminal defence solicitors has successfully defended in thousands of cases. Our clients include corporates, public figures and professionals who prioritise the protection of their reputation and require proactive expert help. Typical clients are professionals or high-profile individuals facing prosecution for the first (and probably only) time in their lives and for whom the prospect of criminal conviction (even prosecution) is unimaginable. The department has particular expertise in dealing with highly sensitive allegations of a sexual nature. Our practice in this area is complemented by our expertise in professional disciplinary and regulatory investigations and proceedings, as well as media and communications law work. We genuinely care about our clients and our reputation depends on the outcomes that we achieve.
