We are friendly and approachable. We understand the impact that being the subject of a criminal investigation and trial has on our clients and their families, which means that we will support you from our very first meeting or telephone conversation.
Our barristers are highly accomplished advocates, defending individuals accused of wrongdoing across the whole spectrum of criminal offences, including:
- Homicide
- Rape and other sexual offences
- Drugs
- Serious violence
- Terrorism
- Extradition
- Robbery, Burglary and Theft

What makes our criminal defence team different?
The quality of our legal expertise and the experience of our barristers are second to none and we apply these to both tenacious litigation and formidable courtroom advocacy. We are also renowned for being practical and approachable, making sure our clients receive the best possible advice every steps of the way. Whatever the case, you will find us proactive and thorough, at every level of the firm.
We are a law firm run by expert barristers experienced both in litigation and advocacy. Your case will be handled seamlessly by a barrister. By instructing a barrister yourself, you will have a direct line of communication with the person who is dealing with your case all the way through, allowing you to build up a good rapport, and us having a thorough understanding of your case.
Every case is different and every client unique. We pride ourselves for tailoring our services to the individual needs of the clients. Our size means we are large enough to handle substantial cases but small enough to offer our trademark highly personalised service. Further, unlike some criminal law firms, we strictly work on a “quality over quantity” basis, so that we can apply our full dedication on every cases we take on and achieve the best possible outcome for all our clients.
We understand the impact and stress on our clients and their loved ones when facing criminal charges. Therefore rather than charging on an hourly rate basis, for most of the cases, we will be able to provide fixed fees quotes for each stages of your case in advance, so that you have a clear and transparent picture of how much the case will cost you. When it comes to certain serious offences, we may be able to agree a fixed fee for the entire case with you.
