Chambers Review

UK-Bar

Crime - London (Bar)

2
Band 2
Individual Editorial

Ben Smitten is a sought-after junior who acts exclusively as a criminal defence advocate and adviser in murder, large-scale fraud and serious organised crime cases. He also frequently defends UK nationals charged with criminal offences in other jurisdictions. Smitten mainly accepts privately funded cases unless the matter is of public importance, such as the inquest and criminal proceedings arising from the Hillsborough stadium disaster.

Strengths

He is immensely likeable, hardworking and he has great written work that is focused, short and clear.

If you need a junior, he's the go-to. His advocacy is always spot on and he has a unique ability to drive a coach and horses through every prosecution case he works on.

Ben is a thoroughly prepared barrister who will always provide a great service to his clients.
