Criminal defence

We advise and represent individuals facing criminal investigations, charges and proceedings. We act at every stage, from the police station through to trial and appeal, and we understand that facing criminal allegations can be one of the most stressful experiences a person encounters. Our approach is calm, thorough and focused on protecting our clients' rights and achieving the best possible outcome.

Police Station & Investigation

We provide advice and representation to individuals who have been arrested or asked to attend a voluntary interview. We ensure that our clients understand their rights, that proper procedures are followed and that they receive appropriate support — including interpreter services where required.

Magistrates' Court & Crown Court

We represent clients in criminal proceedings before the Magistrates' Court and Crown Court, including bail applications, case management hearings, trials and sentencing. We prepare cases carefully and advocate firmly on behalf of our clients at every stage.

Sentencing & Appeals

We advise clients following conviction on sentencing options and outcomes, and we act in appeals against conviction or sentence. Where grounds exist, we assist with applications to the Crown Court, the Court of Appeal and, where appropriate, the Criminal Cases Review Commission.

Regulatory & Financial Crime

We advise individuals and businesses facing regulatory investigations or allegations of financial crime, including fraud, money laundering, bribery and corruption. We provide early advice aimed at protecting our clients' position and managing risk.

Rehabilitation & Spent Convictions

We advise on the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974, including when convictions become spent and disclosure obligations.
