Crime - Thames Valley
Individual Editorial
Julian Richards is head of complex crime at the firm's Oxford office. He acts for clients charged with very serious offences such as drugs conspiracy, sexual assault and murder.
Strengths
Julian is a model solicitor who is at the top of his game. He practices a sort of deadly courtesy so that prosecution teams hardly notice or seem to mind that he is their undoing.
Julian Richards is a really good tactician and a go-to man for very serious, heavyweight crime that requires a subtle approach.
Julian is exceptionally good. He is realistic with clients but also instils a huge amount of confidence and trust in them, which is quite a difficult balance to achieve.
Julia is one of the best of his generation. He manages clients expectations for the beginning and is the most prepared person in the room. He is a class act.
