Criminal Litigation
“Over half the serious cases we deal with are referred to us by other solicitors”
Introduction
Our criminal litigation department is one of London's leading criminal defence teams.
The team has handled very high profile cases with intense media exposure over many months. Special areas of expertise include the defence of serious fraud cases, and cases with a professional dimension involving clients whose ability to pursue their profession might be compromised by a conviction.
Over half the serious cases we handle are referred by other solicitors - a mark of the team's strong track record and excellent reputation in the profession.
The department is recommended by The Legal 500 and Chambers' Guide to the Legal Profession, which recognises its "strong and continuing presence."
Background
Changes in the way suspects are treated have made it important for anyone under arrest to get immediate legal advice. The department offers 24-7 representation by a suitably-qualified member of the team.
(Our emergency number is 020 8788 0005)
Serious cases are always dealt with by a partner or senior solicitor.
The department is based in our Putney office, with lower overheads and a more competitive hourly rate than many Central London-based firms. This can be an important consideration if legal advice is to be privately-funded.
People
The department is led by Jae Carwardine who has over 10 years experience handling both high and low profile defence cases for private and publicly funded clients.
