Crime

For regulatory criminal work please see the Regulatory Team entry

General crime

A diverse and representative team which is compromised of 45 members ranging from some of the most eminent and highly regarded silks in the country to very junior counsel. We are confident that the team can provide suitable counsel for any given case.

Whilst there is a bias towards “heavyweight” crime (homicide, serious sexual offences, major drug related offences and operations, terrorism), Chambers undertakes work at all levels of seriousness and at all stages of the proceedings.

Specialist representation is available for linked and ancillary proceedings such as confiscation/proceeds of crime and judicial review.

Instructions are received to advise (including on a pro bono basis) and provide representation solely at the appellate stage.

Fraud

Within the criminal team there are a significant number of practitioners who can be described as specialist fraud practitioners (some of whom are leaders in this field). Again representation is available at all levels of seniority including for ancillary proceedings (in particular confiscation/proceeds of crime).
