The Criminal Law Group’s members meet regularly, to exchange ideas and consider new developments in criminal law in a structured forum.

Our Leading and Junior Counsel cover all aspects of criminal work across the whole range of criminal courts. This includes privately funded defence work as well as cases funded by the Legal Services Commission. Prosecutions are conducted on behalf of public authorities and other agencies, as well as the Crown Prosecution Service.

Every group member recognizes the importance to the lay client of any criminal charge, however minor. Magistrate court work is not overlooked, and some of our most experienced Junior Counsel regularly accept privately funded motoring defence work where the importance of the outcome can be greatly magnified by an associated high value civil claim. Whatever the court, whatever the charge, we offer able and tenacious advocates, who will always remain committed to the party they represent.

Urgent instructions can be accepted by e-mail, and a response given by the same medium. So often in criminal cases, critical decisions fall to be taken at an early stage of an investigation, our practitioners are happy to offer advice prior to the issue of proceedings, and by telephone, where needed.

Some members of the group are experienced in presenting seminars and discussion groups on a variety of topics. If this would be of interest to you, please do not hesitate to contact Chambers.

The clerks will always be available to advise and assist in the appropriate allocation of work.
