OUR AREAS OF LAW

Being arrested, prosecuted or investigated for a criminal offence can have a huge impact on your life. You may be concerned about your career, your family and ultimately, your liberty.

If you find yourself in this situation, we provide a discrete and sensitive service.

We can advise individuals who are being prosecuted in the Magistrates or Crown Court and we can advise company directors and other professionals facing investigation by prosecuting agencies and other regulatory bodies (such as Trading Standards or RSPCA), as well criminal litigation matters that can properly be regarded as complex either because of the legal issues involved, their size in terms of the volume of evidence or because of their media profile. 

The Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007 means that companies and organisations can now be found guilty of corporate manslaughter as a result of serious management failures resulting in a gross breach of a duty of care. 

If your case is in the magistrates court you are unlikely to receive legal aid and if in the crown court and you are a company or have a well paying job you may not be entitled to legal aid, or may have to pay a large contribution to obtain legal aid and the £000;s that the contribution may be, may be less than you would have to pay privately for a 2 or 3 day trial. Note also that if you are granted legal aid and are convicted and you have assets, the legal aid agency can come after your assets to recover the legal aid you have been granted. 

We have years of experience in defending people accused of crimes including assault, rape, sex offence's against children, drugs, kidnap.  

Whether you have been accused of something minor or something serious, we will work tirelessly to defend you. Whatever your background and whatever your circumstances, we’ll fight to help you defend yourself against the accusations and charges.
